“We are pleased to tell you that there was a brief – very brief – weather window last night, and everybody was able to get off the mountain. We literally had ten minutes to pack up, and everybody made it happen. The whole team was great,.
We all got off the mountain at about 9pm – just in time to enjoy the Fourth of July celebration in Talkeetna! It was a great way to end a very successful trip. To friends and loved ones back home, we all say, ‘See you soon!'”
