Exciting news!! IMAC climber Forrest Heller took off from Pasco airport this morning to head to Anchorage Alaska where he will meet the rest of the guide service he is using, Rainier Mountaineering Incorporated (RMI) Expeditions. From there they will travel to Talkeetna Alaska where after a few days of staging up they will head out on a ski plane to climb Mt. McKinley (Denali) the high point of North America. Assuming an idea weather window, they will land at mountain base camp on Sunday the 10th. From there they will spend the next 14 to 25 days climbing to the summit and back down. Please wish Forrest and the rest of the RMI Expeditions team the best for this unique trip.

To follow along check out https://www.rmiguides.com/blog/ for the latest update on the trip. The specific blog should be something close to 'May 8, 2026 Mt. McKinley - West Buttress Expedition with Jack Delaney'.

Pictures are from the last time Forrest was on this same trip in 2016 (same guide service). That time didn't result in a summit for Forrest.
