It's that time of year again for Matt and me, AK time!

Today we are flying off to Anchorage for a three week trip into the Ruth Gorge. The Great Gorge is a unique landscape with it's mile wide glacier and mile high big walls. We were there two years ago and made two cool first ascents. We can't wait to get back in there.
We would love to try a new route on the 1400m high East face of Mt Dickey if conditions and weather allow. Another possible objective is the still unclimbed East ridge of Mt Johnston. This has been tried by many climbing legends including Yvon Chouinard, Mugs Stump, Doug Chabod, aswell other American hardnuts!
Fingers crossed for some stellar weather and good ice conditions....

We will try and keep the blog updated daily over the next three weeks so stay tuned !
