Are you climbing Denali? Whether you call it Denali or Mt. McKinley, it's the highest peak in North America. At over 20,000 feet this mountain is definitely a challenge. There are no "walk up" routes on the mountain. Most people who say it's a walk up haven't been there. About 50% of the people that try the climb fail to summit. Occasionally people die. Most teams plan for 3 weeks for the climb. If any of the above facts are new to you, you should probably do a little more homework before deciding to do this climb. Our service is for experienced mountaineers. The inexperienced attempting Denali should go with a guided trip. If you're planning to climb it, you need to be training hard and getting ready for this challenge. And when you finally get to Alaska, what you don't need to do is spend a lot of time shopping, trying to get around town, packing food and getting to Talkeetna. Alaska mountaineering is hard enough! We won't guide you up the mountain; but we can help smooth the logistics on your way in. We provide transportation only as part of our complete expedition support service. Expedition Support Package Van Support - This package includes an entire morning (4 hours) with one of our vans and driver at your disposal for use anywhere in Anchorage. All the climbing shops, stores, whatever you like...Easy! Find a radio, pick up that last piece of gear, buy that steel shovel that you didn't want to carry from home. In the afternoon we'll drive your climbing team and all of your gear to Talkeetna and drop you off at your air service or lodging there. Food - Planning, procurement, packaging. You could spend days at home before the trip, when you should be training ...and if you're coming from outside the U.S., it's a real hassle to bring any of your food into the country. Why waste valuable climbing time shopping in Anchorage? We offer carefully packaged, mountain-tested rations to fuel your team. A good mixture of quick and easy meals for long climbing days, more luxuries for rest days, and different needs for the "upper mountain" above Advanced Base Camp. Package includes 15 days food (2-2.5 pounds per person/day). Additional rations available in 5 day increments at $65/person. Food is important! Depending on your motivation to use the ingredients, you can dine on hashbrown potatoes, pizza, tortellini, pesto pasta, smoked salmon, a variety of cheese and hot drinks, cinnamon rolls and cheesecake! Consulting- There's nothing like a little local Beta. From where to stay to what kind of overboots, we can help you get the answers. Package includes 3 hours consulting time via email or phone to help you plan. GO Deluxe- Our Deluxe Package adds in just about everything you need for your climb. From your flight to Base Camp to a roll of toilet paper! We've learned what's needed to get teams to the mountain as efficiently as possible and just about eveything is included. Deals on Gear - Ropes, cooksets, food bags. We have a selection of gear at great discounts.
