Denali Base Camp

 In May, Tyler had the opportunity to be a ranger with our friend Lance Taysom and ..... to the base camp of Denali.

 Here they are in Talkeetna getting ready.


View of the mountain from Talkeetna.

This is a sweet bouldering wall in Talkeetna.  So I had to throw in a picture of it.

This is the Helicopter they flew into the mountain on.

Base camp of Denali.


Shoveling out the space for this massive tent in the above picture.


A sweet panorama of base camp.

Roger, the guy in charge, amazing guy!

exploring the surrounding mountains around the base.





I think this is Annies ridge, Tyler really liked this hike.

Repelling into a giant crevasse!


They relaxed and ate a lot of food.

In Tyler's tent, which he loved!


This is a Sherpa who has climbed Everest 17 times!! 
It was awesome that tyler got to meet him.  
There, he is actually in one of the National Geographics that just came out this fall.

More playing around base camp!
