Aconcagua: Another Weather Day

February 12, 2011

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 18,000'

Howdy gang, we are up here at Chopper Camp. We are experiencing 30 mph winds, about 30 feet visibility, sometimes less and plenty of blowing snow to boot. We are starting to feel like we're in the middle of an Alaskan storm here. A little bit worse cause we're so close to our objective. Me and the guides have been jammin’ reggae and blues in the tent to try to channel some southern or tropical vibes and overcome this lousy storm. But the forecast actually calls for the squall to blow itself out tonight and if that's the case we're going, the whole team will head up tomorrow to Cholera Camp tomorrow. And then may take a crack at the summit on Valentine's Day. But right now, Pete says the stoke meter is currently at 1 ½, so please send us your happy, positive, and tropical weather vibes, down here in South America. We miss you all. Wish us luck. Ciao RMI Guide Billy Nugent

Aconcagua: Chilling at Camp 1

February 7, 2011

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 13,800'

Currently we're chilling at Camp 1 after today's move up from basecamp. We enjoyed perfect weather most of the day today but are seeing a few very minor flurries develop as we settle into camp. The entire team is relaxing in their tents enjoying a deserved rest while Geoff and myself are attempting to chef up some dinner for the gang. We're hoping to get a cache in up at Chopper Camp tomorrow which will serve as our Camp 2. All is well! Talk soon! RMI Guide Billy Nugent P.S. Richard would like all his family and loved ones to know he's doing well and misses them very much!

Rest Day Before the Push To High Camp on Ixta

December 17, 2009

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mexico

Elevation: 12,000 ft.

Leaving La Malinche this morning our team had a great breakfast en route to Amecameca where we took a quick look around and picked up some fresh food to cook this evening. It's always good to fill up before heading off on a climb. We drove up to the Altzimoni hut at 12,000 feet to acclimatize and stage for the beginning of our climb of Ixta. Tonight we will rest up for a big day tomorrow as we push up to our high camp below the Ayoloco glacier. Everyone is feeling great and ready to start to climb our first big objective. 'Til tomorrow.

Everest Base Camp Trek: Grom & Team Enjoy Rest Day

March 23, 2019

Posted by: Casey Grom

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Everest BC Trek

Elevation: 13,950'

Friday, March, 22,2018 Hello everyone, All is well here in the beautiful Khumbu Valley. Today was a scheduled rest/acclimatization day, so we did just that. After breakfast we made a long slow climb up the big hill that’s just behind our tea house. We climbed just up over 16,000ft to help our bodies adjust to the upcoming altitude of Everest Base Camp. The team did great and throughly enjoyed the amazing views in nearly all directions. We could see Cho Oyu the 6th highest and Makalu in the far off distance which is the worlds 7th highest mountain, as well as countless other huge mountains. It’s very surreal to be higher than anyplace in the continental US and be surrounded by so many big mountains. We spent the remainder of the afternoon relaxing at the tea house chatting with other trekkers and recovering from our day’s outing. Some of the team took showers again and the rest of us rewarmed ourselves by the big wood stove that burns dried Yak dung, just as the Sherpa people have done for centuries. We are a little ways above tree line and firewood is scarce, but Yak dung is plentiful. RMI Guide Casey Grom

Everest Base Camp Trek: Grom & Team Return to Kathmandu

Elevation: 4,383'

Hello everyone We have finally returned to Kathmandu! We arrived yesterday in Lukla after a long enjoyable hike down from Namche. It was a beautiful day with sunshine most of the way and just a sprinkle at the end to welcome us back. After a quick shower we stepped out to the local pub and had a drink to celebrate the journey. This morning we were delighted to wake to clear skies and hear that we were on one of the first flights out. And better yet, arrived back in Kathmandu early enough for breakfast. It's been a wonderful adventure and it will be sad to say goodbye to the team. But it's time to get home. Thanks for following! RMI Guide Casey Grom and crew

Everest Base Camp Trek: Mark Tucker & Team in Lobuche

Elevation: 16,175'

Oh my goodness! We must be so far out there. No cell service, no internet, no wifi. How are we gonna get by? Just fine. That's what I can tell you. The team's doing well. We are up here at Lobuche. Had a nice walk up. Fine weather, a little overcast now. Chilly, chilly up here at 16,000'. We are happy to be here in good shape. We are checking in by satellite phone, so we can still be connected. We appreciate everyone following along. Hopefully tomorrow we will move up to Gorak Shep where I think we may have some connectivity, and I may be able to send some fabulous pictures from the jaunt up the hill today. We will check in again. RMI Guide Mark Tucker

Kilimanjaro: Martin & Team Continue to Karanga Camp

January 31, 2014

Posted by: Jeff Martin

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Elevation: 13,500'

Jambo from Karanga Camp, The team did great again today and the good weather continues. Right out of camp this morning we started our climb of the Barranco Wall. While viewed by most people as one of the more difficult parts of the trail, it was a breeze for this group. And it wouldn't be a stretch to say that they actually enjoyed it! We had the usual stopping and starting along the trail as climbers and porters negotiated some of the more tricky sections, but this did not slow us down and we topped out in just 1 hour and 20 minutes. With the elevation gain behind us, we continued east towards Karanga Valley, traversing below the last of the southern ice fields. We also took advantage of some good terrain along the way to practice some walking techniques that we will use on summit day. By 1:00 we were pulling into camp, just in time to sit down to a spaghetti lunch. Such a treat! Now we are continuing the routine of the past few afternoons and just hanging out in camp enjoying our time on the mountain. The sun has been battling the clouds for most of the day. Lucky for us, the sun is refusing to give up. Tomorrow is a short climb to Barafu Camp, our high camp. We'll get into camp by early afternoon with plenty of time to get ready for our summit day. Best regards, RMI Guide Jeff Martin

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 18,000'

Here we are...again! Another rest day, this time at Camp 2 at 18000 feet. If all goes well and keep your fingers crossed, this will be our last rest day. On the agenda for today is the usual, eating and drinking, reading books and magazines, and maybe just maybe watching a movie. The team is strong, very strong. Now it's just a mind game dealing with a little boredom. Leah and I will be making pizzas this afternoon as a treat. That usually lifts ones spirits! Stay tuned! The summit is just around the corner!! RMI Guide JJ Justman and Team

Mt. Kilimanjaro: Tucker and Team View Wildlife

July 24, 2013

Posted by: Mark Tucker

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

The day went like clockwork. We had a great breakfast and then hopped in our vehicles for a short drive to the entrance of the Ngorongoro National Park. The day was cloudy and cool to start, but by the time we descended some two thousand feet, to floor of the largest unbroken and unflooded caldera in the world, the sun was a shining. I would guess that we only saw about 20% of the 30,000 animals that live in the crater. On our way back to the amazing Plantation Lodge for another night we stopped into a Masai Village for a tour and some special shopping options. Tomorrow brings us to the home of more elephants per square mile than anywhere else in the world, Tarangire National Park. Somebody has to do it, wish you were here. RMI Guide Mark Tucker
