Top of the mother!!

I’ve been getting “SPOT” -we’re ok messages from andrew (posted below) and you can see how they have made it up to the top and are on their way down!   I also got a voice message from him last night – they were at the base of Foraker on the Sultana Ridge and were planning on pushing through this morning and skiing down today (monday).  

As always the weather has been very unpredictable.  I’ve been trying to figure out what the denali recreation forecast means, and then what it will mean for them on Foraker.   On Denali, a low pressure trough was suppose to come in this afternoon from the South, and then go to the North.   Hopefully, it stayed stable enough for them until they can get back to the top of Crosson. 

The progression is pretty cool to see – those guys climb fast!  They started on Saturday and went strong every day.    Looking forward to hearing that they’ve made it all the way down safe and sound, and then hearing about all of their adventures.   Way to go!!!!
