Denali Team 2: May 8 - 28, 2011
Guide: Richard Riquelme and Mary Harlan
Climbers: Claire Morrissey (London, UK), Stephen Baldock (Washington State), and Johnna Haskel (Maine)
Richard Riquelme called in with a dispatch at 2:30pm on May 9th:
"Hi, this is Richard calling in from Denali. I've got some message from team members:
Mary - 'Mom, Dad, Samuel, and Jay; I love you and miss you!!!'
Johnna - 'The bank turn flying into the runway yesterday was awesome! I got to fly in the front of the plane and the view was spectacular!"
Steve - 'I'm happy, healthy, and warm so far!'
Claire - 'I'm learning lots and enjoying myself so far. The real work starts tomorrow!'
Richard - 'Laura and family, I love you lots and will see you when I see you'
OK, those are all the messages for today. The rest of the day will be spend finishing up the skills review, we'll resort the gear to improve the weight ratios. Then we're going to need to get some sleep because tomorrow we are going to make our first carry to Camp 1 at 7,800 ft. Talk to you again soon!"
