Just rec'd word that the team is in Talkeetna waiting to go to the motel.

Rob Kettels was the only one who summited.

GO, arm, stinkyfeet, hamtero and mats turned back at 19,900' (400' below the summit) due to adverse conditions.

Jeff and Frodo turned back at 18,400'.

First, great to hear that everybody is safe and sound..


Also, although it might be somewhat touristy or not, but the Double Musky in Girdwood is a great place to eat:

And a great drive to from (los) Anchorage as you can drive by turnagain arm and perhaps even see one of the highest bore tides around.

Congrats to the team! No matter what happened, getting safely back down means success. I can't wait to hear the stories and see the pictures!

Congratulations

What a great accomplishment--congratulations!

For those of us who have been to Alaska, it brings back great memories to hear of your adventure. If you have not been to Alaska, it has to be seen to be appreciated. Awesome!

ps In Anchorage, http://www.moosestooth.net/ is a great place for pizza, beer, etc.

True mountaineers, wise men (and woman), well-done!

more importantly

I just got word that beer is currently being consumed by a certain swede and knowing arm and jeff - likely by them too.

 

[Mad Townie]

Congratulations Team Dom! Having hiked with some of you gives me, and many more folks here, some perspective on the challenge involved in climbing to the rooftop of North America.

In the spirit of VFTT, I'm sure it was a long, great (and perhaps even strange ) trip. Thanks for getting back safely.
