From AAI Guide George Bieker:

“Denali Team 2 arrived on the southeast fork of the Kahiltna Glacier on the afternoon of Sunday, May 13th. We were fortunate enough to have bluebird skies during our 45-minute flight into the range. We have now established basecamp and will check supplies and cover technical skills before our move to Camp 1 (7,800ft). Weather permitting we will make our move to Camp 1 today. Team 2, over and out.” – George
