    Looking for some recommendations in Anchorage:

    Good places to eat?

    Good bars for a post exped beers?

    I’ll need to pick up a few exped bits and pieces when I get to Anchorage, where is the best mountaineering shop?

    Not sure where you’re staying but downtown has lots of great options. 49th State is my favorite for beer and food. Glacier brew house is also great.
    Also alaska mountaineering and hiking is a good place to restock. The REI in town is also well stocked.
    Other good breweries (not in downtown) are Turnagain, Midnight sun, and out in girdwood; girdwood brewing.
    Hope that helps.

    Matt,

    Second AMH, REI and Hoarding Marmot for shopping. Mooses Tooth is a tasty upscale beer and pizza place owned and frequented by climbers. (Hence the name)

    99% of the post exped debauchery goes down at the Fairview Inn in Talkeetna. Typically the highest hazard portion of the trip ?

    – post exped beers always the most dangerous part. Lost 24 hours of my life in Lukla celebrating with the Sherpa crew
