Congrats to all! Nicely done Bill and Kevin. I’m having a wee dram of the Laphroig 18 year old right now in your honor.

The Expedition Skills Seminar - Paradise August 8 - 13 team met last Tuesday at Rainier BaseCamp for their first day of Technical Skills training. On Wednesday, led by RMI Guides Ben Luedtke, Jackson Breen and Joey Manship they headed to Paradise and hiked to their first camp. The team spent the next several days learning and practicing glacier travel skills, crevasse rescue and expedition style climbing. Yesterday they bumped camp to 10,080' Camp Muir and with an alpine start this morning they reached the summit of Mt. Rainier. The team is safely back at Camp Muir where they will have a short break to repack and re-fuel for the remaining 4,500' down to Paradise. They will conclude their program with a celebration at Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon.
Congratulations to the team!

Wow. We did it. Against all odds, the team made it clear over to East Africa without missed or canceled flights and without losing luggage.
We’re assembled here in USA River, Tanzania (on the outskirts of Arusha) and ready to begin our Kilimanjaro adventure. Some of the team used the day to explore the town, some were still en route and some of us just napped… trying to work out the jet lag. But we came together for a pleasant dinner in the garden-like setting of the Rivertrees Hotel. Most chose to wear sweaters, finding the cool temps a pleasant change from the various heat waves plaguing the States these days. The nine team members simply enjoyed each other’s company this evening… tomorrow morning we’ll begin the business of prepping for a week of climbing Africa’s highest mountain.
Best Regards,
Dave Hahn
Enjoy every minute!

Hello team!
I’m grateful for your blog, so I know what is going on with my friend Kara! I’m sorry the weather has not cooperated so you can kick off your expedition, but you have a great attitude about it since its beyond your control. Safety first! Maybe you can have a proper Thanksgiving meal after all! I’ll stay tuned to read about your adventures. Fingers crossed for a break in the weather!
Take care, Dixie
