Some beautiful photos from those trips in the Wrangells. I don't think I can read enough about there, it's where I fell in love with Alaska..

Funny seeing those guys in the 33 day trip cut off zippers and small cords from their packs to save weight seeing all the other heavy stuff they were carrying. Very cool trip though.

Edit: I just noticed that the 33 day Wrangell trip is from 2009?
