Dear friends,

Mountain Girl Chez is VERY excited! 🙂

The time has finally arrived…I am jetting off to Alaska in a few hours. DENALI HERE I COME!

I have been preparing myself for this challenging adventure for many months now and I am ready to give this big cold mountain a crack!
The last week has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but this mountain has a very special meaning for me….now it’s time to climb and touch the sky!

I just want to say a special thank you to a few incredible people that have been my strength over the last few months. Annie, Fi, and Sarah I love you all so much, thank you. And, my dear Mum. I love you with all my heart. Thank you.

There are so many other people I wish I could personally thank (you all know who you are) but I would never get on the plane! Also, thanks to my awesome work mates at Harpers (love the card)…. and an extra special mention to the person who wrote “You’re going where?”

Thank you to everyone, I feel so lucky to have amazing people in my life!

To stay in touch and follow my climb, you can visit the Alaskan Mountaineering School blog.

My fantastic web manager, Lyndall (big thanks to you too), will also be posting updates on my site while I’m away.

So this is it…I’m going to climb Denali!

The adventure in on the way……

Take care everyone

Be the person you want to be and live your own amazing adventure!

See you soon

Love always

Cherie
