Denali in Spring 2020? I would like to join.

I'm contemplating a Denali attempt this spring, currently don't have any climbing partners, and am reluctant to sign up with a guide service, mostly because of cost. If you need a replacement on a team (I can mobilize quickly), or are in the same circumstance as me, please drop a note. I am mostly geared up, would need to buy some more equipment beforehand. Have some, but not a great amount, of mountaineering experience.

The thread I've linked to has links to articles detailing what an exceptional person Garon was.

I'm not a believer, Garon, but if there is something else out there, I ...
