Jedi-Master Dave Staeheli, weighing a food bag for the expedition.
Simon, weighing in before the expedition. We half joke that these are high-altitude weight loss programs. It is amazing how much weight these climbs burn off you!
Brigitte, getting ready for the Alaska Range!
Simon took some time to send off some postcards to some very special people.
TAT owner and veteran glacier pilot Paul Roderick is a master of loading heaps of gear into aircraft.
Newall, Ben, Craig and Nick loading into a ski-equipped Otter for the flight to Base Camp.
Yes, we fit all of that into two of these aircraft.
Fantastic to be able to follow the team's progress - thanks to you all who make it possible. We are in Appleby, Cumbria. Best wishes to the whole team and especially Ben Morison. Have an amazing time. Anne Perry (Ben's Mum)
