No Clouds Rain on Our Parade

As hard as the clouds try, they cannot block those beautiful peaks. Another gorgeous day in this ice age world, one that TAT refuses to miss.

Formal Day at Talkeetna Air Taxi

Getting near the end of climbing season this is from an Alpine Ascents International group that flew out on Formal day at Talkeetna Air Taxi. I guess they did not realize that climbing boots are not formal. YEAH SLEDDER!!!

Dear TAT Staff:
We climbed with Alpine Ascents Int'l (Dave Kratsch) and last went through your Grand Terminal on June 25. You may better remember us as escorting Sledder, our trip mascot for a friend in the hospital (see the attached photos).
We are (finally) getting back to you to thank you for your great service, especially the beyond-duty assistance.
Thanks to all: pilots, management, staff and field crew, for being key players in our climbing adventure.

Best Regards,
David L. Richter

6. (ex) Governor Palin
