12 day mountaineering course- McAlpine

 We heard from Travis today reporting that all the climbers are getting after it out on the Ruth glacier, gaining experience either rock climbing, ice climbing, or route finding to peaks. Mt. Dickey remains to be climbed this time, but everyone is having a good experience. What a brilliant way to spend a birthday, in the Alaska wilderness! Happy Birthday Jake! The group will be enjoying a special dessert tonight in celebration.
