Vinson Massif:  100% of Team Reaches Summit!

Back to perfect weather. We made the summit of Mt. Vinson one more time today. Just a small rope team to get the final climber -who rested yesterday- up to see the sights. And there were unlimited sights to be seen. The entire Ellsworth chain was visible from end to end and beyond, at least two hundred miles of jagged peaks and endless ice. There wasn't any wind at all on the summit today, so it was the most comfortable -30 C one is ever likely to see. We made the top in 6 hours and 45 minutes, spent a half hour up there saying "wow" over and over, and descended to high camp in two hours. Seth Waterfall and the rest of the team took things easy at high camp throughout a nice long sunny day, snacking and catching up on hydration. Tomorrow we'll all drop back down the mountain and begin the journey home. Best Regards, RMI Guide Dave Hahn

CONGRATULATIONS RMI TEAM!

Posted by: Fred Klingbeil on

HW: Very happy for the whole team to reach 100% success rate. I hope you have taken many pictures at high camp today. Wish for good weather so you can come down and fly out soon. Kudos to Dave for going up the summit two days in a row to make sure everyone could summit! Over here, we had a fun birthday party for M today with 10 kids coming. Please stay safe. Love, -Fan

Sterling,

We knew you would breeze to the summit, our biggest concern was whether your Golden Age card is good for 50% off of camp fees in Antarctica as it is in the USA. :-)

A Pura Vida Summit! So proud of you Gineth and your accomplishment. The first Costa Rican to summit Vinson, and your #6 of the 7 Summits. You are a hero to your country, but most of all you are the biggest hero of all to me and the rest of your family. Love you mucho!!!

Congratulations, Julie!  You made it!  The weather there sounds like Lambeau Field.  Enjoy the trip back to warm and sunny Western Washington.
