Count Down To Denali

I am leaving to Climb Mount McKinley aka “Denali” April 30th, 2007. I added a countdown timer till i leave.

We are in the final week of preparations prior to heading to Alaska for my Denali Climb. Mount McKinley aka Denali or ”The Great One” is the highest peak in North America it will take about 21 -24 days to climb depend on weather and logistical factors. We will fly into Anchorage take a 3 hour drive to Talkeetna and then take an hour long brush pilot flight to the base of the mountain. From there it is 14,000 vertical feet to the top and Mount McKinley has the highest gain base camp to summit in altitude of any mountain on earth even more than Mount Everest. I have setup my website to have audio blog post daily directly from the mountain depending on cell phone coverage. I hope you enjoy following my progress on this adventure and fell free to leave comments. I love to hear your thoughts. My first audio post should come once I reach Alaska May 1st. You can also check out the teams progress at http://www.rmiguides.com/mckinley/mckinley_dispatches.html

I also created a video of my preparation to climb Denali.
