Denali 2005 Final Dispatch
July 11, 2005    
Hey everybody it’s Eric Larson and the Dancing Snow Pumpkins expedition, we’re giving you a call from Talkeetna. We arrived yesterday afternoon by airplane, delivering us from the cold glacier to the warm, warm climate of Talkeetna. We wrapped up our expedition last night with an incredible dinner at the lodge and finished up some last minute paperwork and some expedition clean up. The crew did really well, we marched down from high camp all the way down the glacier through the night and got to the airstrip in the morning. They did really well, they are definitely tuckered out and excited to be finished with an incredible peak. Just wanted to say thanks to everybody out there for their support and maybe we’ll get to climb again some time. This is the Dancing Snow Pumpkins, and maybe we’ll see you next time, Eric out.
