I keep receiving notes and packages from Scott that he prepped before he left because he wanted me to know he was with me, even though not physically but "in spirit." Scott and James are not alone on the mountain. Their support team of friends and family are with them every step of the way. Even though we don't have much communication, their home team has been doing research on Denali perhaps in part to pass the time that we spend worrying about them but mostly because we want to understand as much as we can when they tell their stories that make them who they are.
Nell sent a few more links worth passing on.
The first is a link from the National Weather Service for the weather forecast up on the mountain. She also included other links including a radio broadcast on the history of the mountain.
Here is a link to the Alpine Institute's guided Cassin Ridge trip. Scott and James were really looking to try to get on the Cassin.
The following picture shows three routes of interest for Scotty and James. Scott and his friend Phil climbed the West Buttress route a few years ago. The Cassin was the main objective for this expedition although they may end up on the West Rib route.
