Base Camp

After an hour flight in, the boys have set up base camp. Exhausted and most of the guys napping, Greg called me to let me know how amazing the view is and how excited they all are to start the day tomorrow. Jealous of my meal of flank steak and roasted potatoes and kale, they were preparing a lovely meal of curried quinoa! I love how we both love our lives but in totally different ways! Next update will likely be in 3 days but if he is smart 2 days as it is my birthday on Thursday!!!! To be continued….

On the road

Hi folks, this is Tracey Hill, Greg’s fantastic wife writing. I have been elected to update Greg’s blog and Twitter account. Greg will be calling me via Sat phone to keep me (us all) updated and also to verify that they are all safe. They have now arrived in Whitehorse after a 30 hour non-stop truck ride. All are sane and looking forward to being flown in tomorrow morning. I will keep you updated on any further progress.

Heading off to the St-Elias

Well we are off, a 30 hour drive and then wait for a weather window to fly us into the St-Elias range,  drop off near Mt-Walsh and Mt-Steele. Spend 2.5 weeks climbing and skiing off Steele (5th highest in Canada), Lucania (3rd highest) and then Walsh and any other feasible objective.

It should be amazing, and I will have a wicked movie for everyone afterwards.
