Jambo! Our trip has begun. The group has been filtering in over the last couple of days. Today at breakfast was the first time we were all together as a team. We spent the day going over info about the trip, in general, and the mountain, specifically, and then I had a look at everyone's gear. Everything is looking great and we are set for an early departure tomorrow. Kilimanjaro came out of the clouds right at sunset and I was able to snap a pick from the top of the water tower here at the hotel. I'll check in from Camp 1 tomorrow. RMI Guide Seth Waterfall

RMI Guide Alex Barber Begins His Personal Climb of Manaslu

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Guide News

Yesterday morning I flew into Kathmandu. It was my first daytime flight into this wondrous city. It was beautifully clear weather, and seeing the Himalaya from the air provided an awesome perspective -- with Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and many other peaks visible on the horizon. This is my third 8000-meter expedition, with previous expeditions to Cho Oyu and Shishapangma. My goal for this expedition is to climb Manaslu (8156m)- solo and without bottled oxygen. Today I had a relaxing afternoon catching up with my Nepalese friends on the outskirts of Kathmandu valley. Drinking Nepali Raksi (moonshine) and Chhaang (rice beer) along with some quite tasty finger foods - with no ill effects this morning - hopefully I'm working up some immunity to Nepalese microorganisms. However, the heat and humidity of Kathmandu have me daydreaming of Manaslu’s glacial base camp. I’m excited to be back in Nepal! The next two days I will busy myself with buying supplies and packing for the trek in. I plan to depart on the 2nd of September for Arughat, a small village in central Nepal. From Arughat it is an eight-day trek into Manaslu base camp. This time of year is hot, humid, and wet; I am packing my umbrella as the trek starts in the lowland rainforest. RMI Guide Alex Barber

RMI Guide Dave Hahn and the Mount Rainier summit climb team reached the summit in clear, calm and chilly conditions.

We look forward to congratulating the teams in Ashford this afternoon!

Mt. Kilimanjaro: Team Returns to Arusha, Ready to Fly Home

Hi this is Seth along with the group. We are on the way to the airport after a great last day on Safari. We awoke this morning in Kikoti Camp and after a great breakfast we hit the road. We traversed back through Tarangire National Park and were lucky to catch a few more glimpses of a pride of lions. After that we made our way back to Arusha, did some shopping and came back to the Dik Dik Hotel. Everyone has had a great trip but after two weeks away, I think most everyone is excited to return home. As for me I am sticking around for another trip and I am really looking forward to heading back up on the mountain. I'll be checking in again soon! RMI Guide Seth Waterfall

Seth. Thanks for doing such a great job posting.  All of us back in the states felt like we were there. I’m am hopeful to give it try with my kids sometime soon.  I hope the next climb is a success as well.

RMI Guides Garrett Stevens and Casey Grom led their teams of Four Day Summit Climbers to the summit of Mt. Rainier today. Garrett reported a thin cloud cap starting to form but a pretty nice day overall. Winds were very low on the lower portions of the mountain but had increased near the summit. The teams will spend a bit of time in the crater and then descend back to Camp Muir. After a short break the teams will continue down to Paradise and conclude their program with a short celebration at Rainier BaseCamp. Congratulations to today's Summit Climb teams!

Mt. Shuksan: The Seminar Team Wraps up the Week

Well, we're all safely out of the mountains after a great week of climbing and training on Mount Shuksan's Sulphide glacier. Our climbing team gained proficiency moving in diverse terrain in the mountains, including crevassed glaciers, steep snow and ice, and 4th & 5th class rock. We also practiced lots of knots and hitches and crevasse rescue systems. We packed a lot into the past week, and the weather was perfect throughout. Our team was strong and cohesive and we all reached the summit Mount Shuksan in good style. It was a pleasure to climb with everyone. Nice work team! RMI Guide Mike Walter

Mambo poa... We are full on safari pros now. We left the Plantation Lodge at a relaxed pace this morning and after a couple of quick shopping missions we made it into Tarangire National Park. This is the 'Garden of the Elephants' and true to its name we have already seen about 50 of them before lunch. We are going to make our way through the rest of the park this afternoon on our way to Kikoti Camp. I'll check in again tomorrow. RMI Guide Seth Waterfall
