Great PIX Dennis.

What range in AK?

I climb Denial back in 90' did the East Butt... tapped out at 18,000 in a snow cave for 3 1/2 days. Storm rolled in and couldn't move - great fun for your first BIG trip/ climb.

Good to see that the course has changed - Didn't have horses back when I went through. They thought it was applicable. WHAT?? where they thinking.


Looks like fun.

Good times

I just got back from there my-self. Dennis, if the pic of Bertha (the mule in the pic) is with you youngest, good kid. The "M Lazy C Ranch" puts on a helluva mule packing course, and they have any facilities a Mtn ODA would want to train on. Great course, I would recomend it to anyone.

I wish they were pictures from my travels. Unfortunately, they are my son's pictures.

That's the culprit. Thanks of the comment. He had a lot of interesting things to say about the school. Overall I believe he enjoyed the experience. I've included a few more pictures.
