To fly or not to fly?

Time to fly

We had a nice climber orientation at the ranger station here in
talkeetna this afternoon. They make it sound so easy!

Weather has been hit or miss today, and the forecast looks the same
for tomorrow. Fingers crossed there will be a weather window for
flying into basecamp on the glacier at 7000 feet...but not looking
good! This is why we budget for a few bonus days.

Cheers!

Locked and loaded.

Time to bust a move to anchorage by way of Minnesota, and then on to
talkeetna tomorrow.

Hoping jan was able to fly around that silly volcano I can't pronounce
in iceland.
