Our climbers made it safely down the mountain and by Tuesday at 4pm were all relaxing in Talkeetna and preparing for the drive back to Fairbanks. They made it to Base Camp around 7pm on Monday but had to wait until the next morning for good flying weather. One of the group skiied down from the summit ahead of the rest, he was the first to arrive in Talkeetna on Sunday. Welcome back Tohru and Gleb!
The weather station is transmitting and data will be available soon on the Mt. McKinley Weather Station website.
