Paul Roderick shot these photo's - January 27, 2009!
The West Ridge of Hunter is the final for a "hat trick" of solo winter ascents of the big three peaks of the Alaska Range for Masatoshi Kuriaki. He flew in with Talkeetna Air Taxi on January 27, 2009; shown below is his intended route on Mt. Hunter.
First Masatoshi climbs Denali, then Masatoshi climbs Mt. Foraker, next up climbing Mt. Hunter...
The history of Talkeetna Air Taxi reaches back to the early flying days of Alaska. TAT helped pioneer McKinley flights and glacier landings in the Alaska Range and holds a special concession for glacier landing operations in Denali National Park.
