Paul Rachele called May 20th at 8:35pm PST with the following dispatch: This is Paul Rachele calling from the “Kahiltna International Airport.” We flew in today about 4:30 with some time to watch the eclipse. Everyone’s here safe and sound. We’re planning on staying here tomorrow. We are rigging up, doing a skills day, and then on the 22nd we’ll be moving up in the wee hours of the morning to avoid hight temperatures on the lower glacier. We’ll be in touch.
