Masatoshi is back again!
Fly with TAT - Wednesday, December 14, 2011
Masatoshi Kuriaki is back for another attempt at the first Winter solo attempt of Mt. Hunter. This is Masatoshi's 6th attempt, and will be ascending via the West Ridge of Hunter. When he was flown into Kahiltna basecamp where the conditions were surprisingly good after the windy begin to the winter. The temperature was reading minus 5 with a chilling 10 mph down glacier wind at basecamp. Best of Luck to Masatoshi on his solo attempt.
This is the kick off of the winter climbing in the Alaska Range. Stay tuned for update on all of our winter climbs this year, and next.
