Gear Check and off we go….

We started out day at 6am, the sun does not set here it just gets darker. Made sure I charged all my electronics and had a big breakfast. You never know how it is on the mountain.

We went to a warehouse to have our gear check and make sure we have everything we need and also not to take many things as we will end up carrying them on Denali.

Climbing gear, hand gear, foot and head gear. We then had to choose the snacks we need for the 3 weeks, which is approximately 8kgs. We had to choose wisely things we love eating. I don’t want to take a little and end up with no food or take too much and end up carrying them up and down the mountain.

We then rehearsed crevasse rescue techniques in case we fall we will have to pull our selves out. Has been a while but memory kicked in quickly.

From there we had pizza, you can never go wrong with pizza. I will miss good food from now on.

Final point is a safety brief by the Rangers and some do’s and don’t’ son Denali and we fly in a ski plane for 45min to the base of the mountain.

from now onwards it will be very difficult to update everyone, I will do my very best to have a voice blog or email regularly.
