| Safely Down To Camp III Team 9: 14,000' - Sunday, June 30, 2002 » Back to DISPATCHES
Hi, this is Mike Roberts and Matt Walker for Alpine Ascents Denali 9, team vegeMIGHT. Just a brief update to let you know that we've arrived safely at camp 14,000', Camp III for us. The trip down went smoothly. We were a little slow departing, and we are now just enjoying the remainder of the evening light, having a leisurely meal.
The plan is tomorrow to head down to the airstrip but not leaving until mid-afternoon. Mid to late afternoon actually. The reason being we want to travel in the Kahiltna when it's frozen and the crevasse bridges are in a safer condition. So we'll give you a quick update before we leave tomorrow, but all going well we will be back in Talkeetna Tuesday afternoon.
So that's all for now. Talk at you tomorrow. Cheers, Mike. Mike Roberts, Alpine Ascents International Guide and MountainZone.com Correspondent |
