From memory they have a practice session with a couple big Chinook helicopters near the end of the climbing season. Practice involves touch and go landings at the 14,000 ft camp.

 

Couldn't they have just given her all the excess food and fuel at the camp then tell her to wait for the practice sessions in July. That way there wouldn't be extra special heli time.

 

Alternately restrain her, put her on a backboard and sled, then tow her down to the SE fork landing site.

 

I imagine she'll never get another climbing permit in Denali.
