Alp 2 has spent their rest day at 14 Camp building more wind walls and surprisingly changing their name to “Team Mister Bump”

 

Friends, family, loved ones, Stuart here Alp 2 at 14,200 feet.

We had a rest day today, built some wind walls to prepare for some weather coming in, dropped off the poop down a crevasse, and we changed out our Team name from “Airwolf” to “Mister Bump”. “Mister Bump” is our new Team name, came from one of our listeners, Ewan, out there, so it’s been the best name I’ve heard so far. Unless we come up with something else, we’ll be from now on known as “Mister Bump”.

Going to try something experimental here, I’m going to pass around the phone just in the dining tent here. Hopefully all of these individual messages go through. But everybody sends their love and is doing well.

Here’s Erik: (transmission cuts out)

  • Denali ’24 in a Nutshell

    Submission by Jess, Alaska Operations. When I touched down in Talkeetna this year, greeted by sunny skies and perfect weather, I couldn’t help but feel hopeful for a smoother forecast for Denali climbing season compared to the previous year’s relentlessly poor weather. Julia was clearly on the same wavelength because just a few weeks before, […]
