Any day in the mountains builds wisdom and respect for the mountaineering experience. You guys are sure getting your share! Everything is crossed: fingers, toes, skis, ice axes, crampons,... Safe travels.

RMI Guide Adam Knoff checks in from 14,000' on Mt. McKinley.
Way to go Courto!!!!!! Keep on making the Cheeseheads proud. You are a super rock star - kind of scares me actually as I sit on my mommy butt drinking beer and watching reality tv. I know you are also super embarrassed reading this right now so I guess my current mission has been accomplished. The Thompson 5 love you. Sus

The Four-Day teams led by RMI Guides Joe Hoch and Jackson Breen summited this morning in good weather. They reached the top at 6:00 am taking 6 1/2 hours due to many climbers on the route. The team spend time on the summit before starting their descent, they return to Paradise this afternoon.
Congratulations Team!
Wow! You did it OLIVIA!!!

Today was nice and easy… a chance to sip coffee and stare at the big volcano out the window. It changed every few minutes, with clouds and light increasing, decreasing and doing just what clouds and light always do.
We took it easy to enhance our acclimatization and to prepare for tonight’s climb. There was a small and easy training and gear session out in the grass. But that was balanced by naps and meals.
We’re ready! Awake in just a few hours for our Alpine start.

Today was the big day! We woke up in Uspallata and started our drive towards the Aconcagua. After getting our permits and entry to the park in order, we began our trek into Confluencia Camp. We arrived in camp and picked up our bags that were delivered by mules. Tent sites were selected and the team quickly got moved in. We then spent the afternoon resting and eating amazing food as we begin to adjust to the altitude.
Following along as you climb ~ will be behind you all the way! (haha!)
Best wishes to the whole team.
Karen & Rob

When we got in our tents last night it was clear and calm, but the clouds, wind, and snow returned overnight, although with much less vengeance than before. We fired up the stoves early with hopeful anticipation that the cloud deck would drop below us and winds would abate, but that was not the case. We decided to stick around 11k another day, with an improving weather forecast ahead of us.
The hope is that tomorrow is our day to bump camp up to 14k. We're rested, acclimatizing, and our team has already tackled the climb to 14k on our carry day; while it will still be strenuous, the team is well prepared for the move to 14k. And we're looking forward to it.
I'll check in again tomorrow, hopefully from a higher vantage point.
We miss you. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Stay safe and healthy.
Your fan club,
The Arnolds
