Entries from Mountain “Guides”

The mountains lost a legend this week.

To the climbing community, Jim Whittaker’s impact is immeasurable. To us at RMI and Whittaker Mountaineering, it was foundational.

Jim was Lou’s twin brother, and their shared love of the mountains shaped American alpinism in ways that still echo today.

Rest easy, Jim. We hope you and Lou are climbing something beautiful.
