First Climbers in the Brooks Range for 2010

t

Base Camp and Drop on the Okpilak River

Yesterday we hauled in our first climbers in the the Romanzof Mountains of the Brooks Range for this season.  They were a joint North Face/Alaska Wilderness League sponsored climbing/Ski team.  From their drop off on the Okpilak they are headed for Mount Michaelson, Mount Isto, and any other peaks that beckon to them.  So here is hoping  that they find the fresh traks that they are looking for.

Adventure in the arctic

The expansive Brooks Range is a wilderness theater of seemingly infinite recreational activities. Hiking, rafting, climbing, trekking, paddling, photographing and  flight seeing are a few popular ways of experiencing the rugged landscape.

Great photos, Patrick! Wish you had captions to identify the locations…. but then, you’d be giving away your favorite spots! Hoping to revisit the Noatak this summer.
Happy Trails,
Will
