Mt. Kilimanjaro: Grom & Team Return to Dik Dik

Hello again everyone, We have finally made it off of Mt. Kilimanjaro and are safely back at the wonderful Dik Dik Lodge. After a much needed night of sleep we woke up this morning, packed up all of our stuff and headed down hill one last time. We ended our journey by saying good bye to all of the amazing porters and mountain staff that made this journey possible. Everyone is now freshly showered and smelling good again, thankfully, and are just sitting down to our celebration dinner. RMI Guide Casey Grom and crew

Great job bro. Eric I’m so proud of you. Sorry I didn’t make the top. Doc says it’ll be 9 months to a year for my Achilles to heal. Next time we’ll do it together! Jake you are the best. I hope to climb with you again!

Mt. Elbrus: Waterfall & Team in Kislovodsk

We're in Kislovodsk! Today we made it one step closer to the mountain. We had an early start in Moscow and then caught a 2 hour and 15 minute flight to Mineralnye Vody. From there it was just an hour drive to the city of Kislovodsk where our hotel is. Once we checked into the hotel, everyone sorted their gear while Pete and I went to a supermarket. We picked up some fresh food for basecamp. We'll be getting an early start tomorrow for the 4x4 road to camp. Here's a shot from the awesome pizza place we went to for dinner.

Mt. Shuksan: Geoff Schellens & Team Begin Their Denali Prep Course

Hi all, Had a great first day on the Mt. Shuksan 6-day Denali Prep course. Jim and Joy showed up prepared and ready to go. After a gear check, and another cup of coffee, we headed out of town to the Shannon Ridge trail head. We started up the trail with sun on our shoulders, laughing about the 30% chance of rain. After a couple hours hiking we left the trees behind and enjoyed great views of Mt. Baker. With these views, however, also came the end of our laughter as we noticed dark clouds approaching. Though we did get a light rain in the last 1/2 hour before getting to the low bivy camp site, we had a great day. Jim and Joy are in good spirits and staying dry in there tent, currently discussing dinner options. We'll see what the weather gods have in store for us tomorrow. RMI Guide Geoff Schellens

Mt. Kilimanjaro: Grom and Team at High Camp Ready for Summit Bid

Hello again everyone. After 5 days of trekking we have finally arrived at High Camp! Today we moved up a few thousand feet and are comfortably sitting just shy of 15'000ft. Despite having made good time to camp our amazing support still managed to beat us and have camp ready once again. We are camped on the southeast side of Kilimanjaro and have a great view of the route ahead as well as the valleys below. Our route ascends up a wide ridge and should be relatively easy for this crew that has done such a great job thus far. Our plan is to wake up at midnight and have breakfast then hopefully start our summit bid around 1am. If all goes well I'm expecting us to reach the summit sometime around 8am.Everyone is in good spirits and excited about the climb. Thanks for all the blog post! It's wonderful to hear from everyone back home and we appreciate all the support. Wish us luck! RMI Guide Casey and Crew

Hello Bruce, Michael, Katie, Jess and Chris…. and congratulations!!!  We have been following closely knowing there is a 7 hour difference. You’re not missing anything here.  Have a safe trek down.  Cant wait to see that view from the summit.  Get a small rock from the mountain as a paperweight.  Love you all. Mom

Mt. Elbrus: Seth and Team Tour Moscow

Hi Everyone, It's been a fun, if slightly soggy, day in Moscow. The day started with thunder and lightning at sunrise but as we all met up over breakfast the light show subsided. After breakfast we took a nice walk around Red Square and met up with a local tour guide. She took us into the Kremlin and showed us all around the old cathedrals inside. While we were in the Kremlin the skies opened up and it started to rain. We gave everyone the option to bail out and return to the hotel but this crew is tough and all of the stuck it out. After touring the Kremlin some folks wanted to do their own thing for a bit so we split into 3 groups for lunch time. After that we met back in the hotel and reviewed the gear necessary for the climb. Pete and I split up after that and checked out everyone's gears individually. Everyone seems very well prepared with top-notch gear and plenty of mountain food. Everything is lining up nicely for our departure for Mineralnye Vody and Kisklovodsk tomorrow. RMI Guides Seth Waterfall, Pete Van Deventer and Team

Congrats to all my fellow climbers who made it the summit.  I enjoyed meeting you all and climbing with you.  Also a big thanks to Brent, Sean and Nick for their guidance and professionalism.  All the best to you and can’t wait to see the pictures!!

Was a great time climbing with you all. A special shout out to my rope team members Harry, Kim, and guide Sean on getting to the top. This was an amazing time with a first class organization. Rick King (yea, one of the Wisconsin King brothers).
