Cybercasts

Today the crew cached at Kahiltna Pass at 10,000 feet.  Everyone is doing well.  We are looking forward to moving tomorrow up the mountain if the weather allows.

Meet team “Crevasse-Holes,” our May 14th Denali Expedition!

Hey, this is the May 12th crew checking in from the base of ski hill.  We did a single carry today from base camp to here, it was heavy, but everybody did well.  Tomorrow we’re gonna cache somewhere up ski hill towards 10,000 feet. Thanks for following!

Hello friends and family,

We are checking in for our first cybercast post of the 2026 Denali season! Our team assembled yesterday for a gear check and skills review before heading in to town for a briefing with the National Park Service and team dinner. We are currently heading to the air taxi service to queue up for a flight to basecamp. Spirits are high and our clothes are all smelling fresh. Our team spent much of the evening debating a team name and have decided to earn a team name rather than assign one. We will keep you updated over the next couple days when and let you know once we have reached enlightenment.

love to all,

Matt Hallstead

Today officially kicks off the 2026 Alpine Ascents Denali Season! Our first team has arrived in Talkeetna, completed their gear check, and is headed to the hanger for their flight onto the Kahiltna Glacier. With our next two teams arriving in the next week, things are getting busy here in Alaska! Stay tuned for more updates from the field.
