Mt. Rainier: Four Day Summit Climb Teams Reach Summit!

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 14,410'

Facebook Logo
RMI Guides Casey Grom and Steve Gately led their Four Day Summit Climb September 7 - 10, 2016 teams to the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning. Steve reported clear skies with 20 mph winds and fairly cold temperatures. The climbing route remains in great shape. The teams enjoyed some time in the crater before starting their descent. Both teams will return to Camp Muir for a short rest and to repack their gear before continuing down to Paradise. We look forward to celebrating with them at Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon. Congratulations to today's Summit Climb teams!

Kilimanjaro: Waterfall & Team Descend to Mweka Camp

Elevation: 10,000'

Hello from our last camp on Kilimanjaro. I just wanted to send a quick note to say this all the climbers have descended safely from High Camp. Our climb was warm with partly clear skies but clouds built up on our descent. As we left high camp our old friend the rain returned and stayed with us most of the way to 10,000'. We're all getting ready for our last dinner on the mountain right now. Tomorrow we will walk to the Mweka Gate and then transfer back to the Dik Dik Hotel for celebrations! RMI Guide Seth Waterfall

Aconcagua: King and Team Make Summit Attempt from 18,000’, Turned Back By Wind

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 18,000'

This is Mike with the Team at 18,000ft. Today we woke up and started towards high camp at 19,600ft. We carried our summit kits with the intention of going as far on the summit route as the weather would allow. Today was to be the last clear day for the next week and the winds were forecasted to be slowing down to 30mph by day's end. We had an amazing sunrise across the snow covered Andes. Alpenglow on the Polish Glacier and Aconcagua's massive shadow to our West. The wind was in our face all morning, requiring the Team to be layered up and persistent with each foot placement. Due to high winds and extreme cold we turned around at 20,500ft. We are all back in camp safely and feeling good about making an honest crack at the summit from our camp at 18,000ft. Tomorrow we will descend to base camp and begin our walk out of the Park. The last few weeks have been a great learning experience for what expedition life is like in the big mountains. Thanks for following along and we will check in daily until we reach pavement on Monday. RMI Guide Mike King

Mt. McKinley Expedition: Van Deventer & Team Descend to 11,000’ Camp

Elevation: 11,000'

Tuesday, May 27, 2025 - 12:10 am PT

After a big day yesterday and sleeping at 17,000' still, we slept in to get what recovery we could. It was a cold morning, but we eventually roused, downed some breakfast, and got all of our things in packs and headed down. It’s been a funny day of environments. Weather at 17,000 was frigid and clear this morning. Passing through 14,000' Camp felt like we were at the beach, and we said Hi, Good luck, and See ya to our friends with RMI Guide Seth Burns and team.

Moving below 14,000' across the Polo Field, everything was white, muffled, and there was ~24” of new snow on the ground and it was snowing hard. We are now at 11,000' Camp, pausing to sleep and enjoy the warm and oxygen rich climes. It’s not at all how they felt on the ascent! Tomorrow, we’ll pack things one more time, and walk out the Kahiltna Glacier to base camp. We’re excited and ready.

RMI Guides Pete, Nick, Ben, and team

Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Continue Training and Waiting

Posted by:

Not much change for us today... clouds and murk, no flying. But we are holding up just fine, in any case. We passed the morning demonstrating crevasse rescue techniques -without the crevasses. Then, just to get the blood flowing, we hiked out to “the Christmas tree” a plywood and fabric landmark 2.5 kilometers down the snow road in the direction of the ice runway. Although technically still on standby for flying to Vinson, we mostly just kicked back and relaxed in the afternoon as snow clouds encroached and visibility diminished. The evening program consisted of a slideshow by David Hamilton -one of ALE’s guides- detailing his ski traverse of the Austrian Alps. Forecasts call for an end to this storm... some day soon. We’ll be ready. Best Regards RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Aconcagua: Gately & Team Move Into Camp 2

Posted by: ,

Elevation: 18,000'

The winds finally settled out last night for the first time in days and you could hear the heavy sounds of breathing and snoring coming from the other tents again. We woke to a pristine morning in the Andes and enjoyed being able to sit comfortably outside for breakfast. Shortly thereafter though our focus turned to business as our agenda for the day had us climbing to Camp II (18,000ft). The team was moving well and we forewent putting crampons on for the traverse up a snowy bowl feature. The lack of wind finally allowed the icy surface to thaw allowing us easy passage. Once past the col between Aconcagua and Ameghino we were treated yet again with the expansive view of the Northern Andes only this time we kept going! The route flattens out for a moment as we contour onto the North side of the mountain, before ascending again, and traversing another glacial valley to our destination, Camp II. The winds at camp for the moment are light and variable but we expect them to increase over the next 24 hours. The team is all doing well and readjusting to thinner air. Tomorrow we further the acclimatization process by pushing a bit higher to 19,000ft and returning to Camp II to recover. RMI Guide Steve Gately

Maybe up there in the thin air you’ll be able to clearly see Santa, Rudolf and the reindeers!
Sending y’all warmth and merriment, with much admiration for your courage.
