Looking for a ski partner to do a smash and grab ascent/descent of 16K ft Mount Sanford in the Wrangells during July. I live in Valdez and can get a few days off when the good weather rolls in. Looking to do the climb and ski in a 24-48hr window with day packs and a jet boil;) Please be fit and able to skin and ski 11K vert in a push. Bushplane flight is $400 and I have a bunch of Dexamethasone!

-Cheers

There's gotta be someone out there! Wish I could get the time off, sounds like a party!

Well, shit! The whole state is on fire and the smoke in the Wrangells is thick:(

But Valdez is still smoke free! The snow on Thompson Pass has "firned up" and the skiing and mountaineering have been great up on the glaciers. I've got weekends off and can always get more time off for bigger missions. Or if your in the area and need a place to crash drop me a pm.
