Keep it going, Larry! Also, please take a picture of the icefall below 11k camp when you’re there. Last year there was a wicked triangular shaped serac that was about the bust loose!
Rock it!

We said goodbye to the Condoriri mountain range, and loaded our van to head to our second mountain Huayna Potosi which stands just over 6,000 meters. We arrived at our base hut, which is actually Adriam and Domilita house that they open up to climbers. Adriam is our head porter and we leisurely packed our packs and gear for our journey up to high hut (17,000’) where will spend a little bit of time before heading for the summit. From their house we have amazing views of the route we’ll be climbing up Huayna. As the sun began to set the winds starting cranking and we were happy to be inside than out in the tents. Adriam built us a fire and we enjoyed a big family dinner that included a cake for Katherine’s birthday. We awoke this morning to sunny skies and calm winds. We’ll be heading to high camp in the coming hours. We’ll take a short rest before starting our summit attempt early in the morning. Fingers crossed that the winds co-operate for us!

Hi Everyone,
We had a windy eleven miles into Lago Dickson today. The trail takes us through the appropriately named windy pass. The group enjoyed the scenic views of Lago Paine and the glaciated mountains that surround Lago Dickson. We are enjoying the trek and having a lot of laughs along the way. Watching the clouds move quickly over the mountains now.

RMI Guide Dustin Wittmier and team reached the summit of Mt. Rainier via the Emmons! All team members were able to look out on the beautiful skies this morning from 14,000 ft. Nice work team!
They will get up early tomorrow morning, spend sometime practice crevasse rescue before starting their descent and return back to Rainier Basecamp in the afternoon for their celebratory lunch.
Prayers answered. So proud of you, Tyler and the rest of your team! Can’t wait to hear your stories.

The team is back at Sandy Camp after their summit attempt. We made it up to the crater rim, at around 9,700'.
The team will enjoy their dinner at camp, a good night's rest before they pack up camp and head back to the trailhead tomorrow. Nice work team!
