Some of them made it to Talkeetna...

Well the weather has given them one last kick as they are trying to get off the mountain. Durny, Greg, and 3 of the climbers (whose names I wasn't given last night) are still at base camp. One flight with part of our crew got out last night before the weather shut down flying for the rest of the day. If you friend or family member got to Talkeetna on the one flight, you've probably already recieved a call, or will soon. The rest of the crew is sleeping and eating their way thru the base camp food cache, and trying to keep a good attitude as they wait for the weather to let them out of the mountains.

    Pole sana... it must seem interminable! Been following the wx on the TAT webcam and the ANC webcams too - frankly amazed *anyone* got off the mountain in those conditions. Hang in there CC, if you're one of the "stranded". If not, I hope that beer, burgers and rest have been the order of the day (not necessarily in that order).
