My heartfelt condolences.  A painful and poignant reminder that these professionals only make climbing LOOK easy and without risk.

Posted by: Danny Bobrow on 6/17/2014 at 2:04 pm

God Bless those who were taken “home” during this part of their life’s journey. May peace come to the family and friends of all.
Please forgive the commercialism attached to this ... but i simply cannot think of a better song for those who were called to ... and from ... the mountain !!!!!

Wonderful that the weather has cleared for the top-out.  We received a note early yesterday from Alysse that all was well—that was important!  Thanks and we will see and talk with you soon.

Mt. McKinley: Van Deventer & Team Hoping for a Move to 17K Tomorrow

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 14,200'

May 31, 2014 - 11:23 pm PT The weather slowly cleared over the course of today. We woke to heavy snowfall, but calm winds, and the snow slowly eased through the day, clearing enough by the time we headed to the tents this evening to show blue sky over the West Buttress. The anticipation and excitement in the cook tent this evening was obvious, as we do plan to try to make the next jump tomorrow, climbing to 17k camp tomorrow. If all goes well, the next few days will be big, and will go by in a whirlwind. We'll keep you all updated on our progress, and wish us luck! RMI Guides Pete, Robby, Josh, and team

Mt. McKinley: Okita & Team Ascend the Fixed Lines

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 14,200'

Facebook Logo
May 31, 2014 - 11:21 pm PT The weather cooperated, sort of, for our big day climbing the infamous fixed lines to 16,200'. These are ropes fixed in place on a steep part of our route that offer security to our team as we climb it. As seen from camp this headwall is particularly impressive, and intimidating. The winds had calmed down completely by the time we got up, and the day was looking good. However by the time we actually started walking clouds had rolled in obscuring our views and the route. But the sun could be seen through this layer giving us confidence that we'd climb out of it. And we did. The headwall itself was challenging, but our training yesterday helped immeasurably. We all made it to 16,200' where we cached the supplies we carried up and took a well-deserved break. Our descent was slow on the icy terrain, but we managed it fairly well. By the time we got back to camp, the team was deservedly happy to have climbed this much anticipated part of the route. And now it's bed time. We're all looking forward to sleeping in and being lazy tomorrow. All for now from 14,200', RMI Guides Brent, Leah and Nick

Mt. McKinley: Frank & Team Waiting for a Break in the Weather

Posted by: ,

Elevation: 348'

May 31, 2014 - 11:02 pm PT Not a plane was buzzing this morning when we awoke to dark skies and a slight breeze here in Talkeetna. Today was our fly day, but we are waiting out a hefty storm that has hundreds of climbers waiting on both sides of the Alaska Range. We met at the K2 hangar to wrap up some last-minute packing with high hopes for hopping on a plane; alas, we stayed stuck on the green-side, in Talkeetna along with swarms of anxious climbers. We are all psyched for tomorrow's potential - crouched and ready to jump on a plane at a moments notice. For now, we will continue to exercise our patience, a vital skill that we will need on the mountain. RMI Guide Geoff Schellens

Mt. McKinley: Jones and Team Soggy but Spirited in Talkeetna

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

The wait continues here in the rainy village of Talkeetna. We have covered a whole gamut of skills and topics. Currently we don't have a glacier under our our feet but we have many new tricks and tips to help us when our plane's skis hit the powder-covered runway at KIA (Kahiltna International Airport), as many consider it. While the last flight in or out occurred this last Monday, our motivation is high and our spirits strong as we endure these fuzzy and rain filled skies. Maybe fishing for halibut would suit this weather well? Our afternoon will take us to the Talkeetna Ranger Station for a documentary video that outlines the process of climbing and the reality of this difficult and rewarding climb to the summit of North America! We continue to send positive thoughts to the teams on the hill, hoping to high-five with then as we land. Any high pressure you can send up here would be appreciated by all... Until tomorrow, RMI Guides Tyler Jones, Garrett Stevens, Bryan Hendrick, and team

Tyler, Garrett and Paul -

Hi Guys!  Well, here we all are again.  Of course, I wish I was there with you getting all antsy to get up on the mountain.  I see that Ben Alavarez is following along on the blog.  Hi Ben!!
Hope you get that high pressure system soon.

May 31, 2014, 2:11 pm PT We are still here at Kahiltna Base camp. We received another foot of new snow overnight and it shows no sign of slowing or stopping. We are all staying hopeful that the weather will break sometime in the next few days and we can finally get a big meal and that long awaited hot shower! RMI Guide Mike Walter

Looking for info on Sheldon Spivey a Georgia climber who is there attempting to summit Rainer

Posted by: Diana Spivey on 6/1/2014 at 8:58 am

Reading the sad news from MT Rainier - it does not
appear to be Robert’s team led by Matt Emht that
was lost but a team led by Matt Hegeman taking the Liberty Ridge route.

Prayers to all involved.
