Denali 2022: Denali Team 7 Launches

Hey everyone, This is Stephen with Alpine Ascents Denali Team 7. We’ve chosen Dude, Where’s My Sled as a team name. Everyone showed up well prepared so we had a quick smooth gear check this morning. After a nice pizza lunch in Talkeetna, we’re at the airport about to load the planes to fly into Kahiltna Basecamp! Here’s a photo of the team in front of one of the otters we’ll be flying in. Thanks for following along and look out for Team Dude Where’s my sled on the alpine ascents cybercast going forward. Stephen, Matt, and Cameron
