The whole team flew out of Base Camp to the green, fragrant town of Talkeetna, Alaska. It is an amazing sensation to leave the dry air of the Alaska Range and descend into the moist air of Talkeetna. The scents of trees and flowers are very intense, and you suddenly become aware that you and your climbing partners really stink as well!
Some of the crew hopped aboard a private shuttle service and headed into Anchorage yesterday. The rest of the team decided to decompress in Talkeetna for a night and will head back in our van today. It is a pretty big sensory overload sometimes to go from the glacier to Anchorage in a push. It can result in a sort of out of body experience as your soul takes a day or so to catch up.
I hope you've enjoyed these posts and hope that it helped you feel a bit more connected to your friends and loved ones who were climbing with us. Thanks for your trust and hopefully we'll see them in the mountains in the future.
Todd- out.
