>>1357654Went home for a week, then went to the Italian Alps for another mountaineering course. Less fun because I snapped my knee 8 hours prior to departure. Still only had to skip two summits.
>>1357653Nope, am Europoor flatlander unfortunately. The place is amazing. Easiest way to get deep into the park is heading to Fairbanks and flying to Anaktuvuk with Wright Air Service - they have daily flights in summer season. Alternatively get a ride up the Dalton highway up to Coldfoot, then hike. Might be less spectacular for the first two days or so, but after that you'll be well into the Brooks range. There's a handful of people who hike from Coldfoot to Anaktuvuk every year. Takes a two-three weeks if I'm correct. No trails or villages in between, keep that in mind.
