Here's some images to give an idea of the meet-and-greet in Anchorage- each client has their gear checked by the guides before setting off into the Alaska Range. Lead guide Dave Staeheli (orange hat) briefs the group on the West Buttress.
3rd guide Eric Gullickson (sunglasses) checks all the details.
2nd guide Sebastian Grau (in the red) slims down the kit. Ounces equal pounds and pounds equal suffering, so every little bit of kit is analyzed and scrutinized in the interest of keeping loads to an acceptable weight.
