I'm planning a trip to Denali in May 2011 and hope to climb the Cassin Ridge. Any advice on logistics, equipment, or training for this challenging route? Any first hand info on Denali? Thanks!

I feel safer in a plane being landed on a glacier by Paul than in any commercial airport! On my first trip he flew us in a 1957 DeHavilland Beaver, the next trip we "upgraded" to the 8 seater Otter. Paul's sister Lisa is the Kahiltna Base

The two that died were camped just a bit up from us. We spent the better part of the day before the accident swapping stories, talking about the route, and having a few cups of wine. I believe we climbed Freezy Nuts maybe four/five days earlier, but
