Our trip started months ago with lots of planning and kit preparation. This was quite challenging as I was in Antarctica and Mark works off-shore on oil rigs all over the world. Anyway we got there and when I arrived home I was greeted with box loads of new gear to un-pack and check.

Myself and Mark Mosgrove have just booked flights to Alaska for May 2013. Although still over 8 months away it is very exciting and feels like the trip is a reality now. We will be flying from Glasgow to Anchorage on the 21st of May and then traveling to Talkeetna - the gateway to the Denali NP.

Short video my friend Joris has made about his recent trip to Denali. Joris and another friend; Nathan, climbed the West Buttress and the Cassin Ridge on Denali.
