mattp Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 Any of you who have climbed in the Saint Elias or Fairweather Range may remember Kurt, killed in a tragic accident on Mount Kennedy last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairweather Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Wow...Stories like this are terrible. Terrible for his family. I've wanted to climb Fairweather (Northwest Basin Route) for a while now and Gulf Air , to my knowledge is/was the only air taxi available. The previous owner, Mike Ivers(?) was killed dropping off some river rafters a few years ago. The flying in this part of AK just seems a bit more "on the edge" than the Denali operations. It's not the climbing that'd scare me...it would be the flying. Maybe I'll start at Alsek Bay...by boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
