Denali Transmit #1

I am in the Sheldon Air hanger re-organizing, purchasing fuel, snow wands, and weighing all gear. It's been a whirlwind so far. After landing in Anchorage this morning at 430, we shuttled two hours to Talkeetna, and got through the 1+ hour NPS orientation (shit cans included) off the standby list. All this by 1130 am. The weather these weeks has been poor and flights to and from the glacier are few and far between, with up to 6 days of waiting in either direction. Along with climbers being unfortunate with the weather, keeping most tent-bound. However we have had a break. We were told upon arriving at the hanger that a short weather window has opened and today is our opportunity. We fly tonight to Kahiltna Glacier.
