The Team in Anchorage

Here's the team. They met in Anchorage this morning for the pre trip breifings, gear check, and a stop at the local climbing store for a few last minute items. The guys are fired up and ready to go. They'll be heading to Talkeetna tomorrow morning, and will be flying onto the glacier by mid day.

  1. Thanks for the pix. They all look so warm and happy! Please tell Jack Happy Birthday from all of us in Fort Worth. He's 66 today and "still crazy after all these years." carolyn

  4. Martin supporters are everywhere! The best of luck to Martin Douthitt as he attempts to add the sixth of the seven summits to his list of accomplishments. In your wake are the summits of Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Mt. Vinson Massif, Mt. Elbrus, Carstensz's Pyramid and most recently Mt. Kosciuszko in Australia. Only Everest will be left. Stay warm and stay safe. We will be waiting to congratulate you when you come down from the top. Good luck!
