Fantastic lead! I had a great time and was so glad we had a window to summit.
A truly professional team with the Waterfalls, Andy And Nick. Thanks so much for keeping things safe and fun. Look forward to seeing you all on future climbs.

Mt. Baker Ski & Summit May 17 - 19:
Led by RMI Guide Sam Marjerison the team practice skills and did some ski touring yesterday. They arrived back to camp and settled in after turning around at 7,400 feet due to whiteout conditions. They are planning to enjoy a morning ski before making their exit around midday.

The Four Day Climb June 9 - 12 led by RMI Guides Mike Bennett and Walter Hailes reached the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning. The weather was fairly calm and winds were decreasing. The climbers enjoyed some time in the summit crater before starting their descent from the crater rim around 8:40 am. They are now heading back to Camp Muir. Once packed up they will continue down to Paradise.
Congratulations to today's climbing teams!

Hello from Tanzania!
Everyone and all bags have arrived in Tanzania and the team is doing well and in good spirits after some very long flights. Nearly 20 plus hours for many of us. It was a short and quiet ride to our lodge that is nestled in between Arusha and Moshi and not so far from the base of Kilimanjaro. The team had a quick dinner and headed for bed as the time change had us all feeling just a little off and pretty tired after all the traveling. Luckily we had an extra day here because of flight options. I say luckily, because the time change is pretty tough being about 12 hours difference for us. The extra day will certainly help us adjust.
Today we had a leisurely morning and then rolled into our group meeting after breakfast, where we did a round of introductions and then discussed the upcoming program for the days ahead. The team spent the remainder of the day getting our gear packed up, exploring the grounds of our peaceful Lodge and dodging the gaggle of monkeys patrolling the grounds. We wrapped up the evening with a delicious meal and plenty of friendly conversations.
Everyone is doing well, excited to be here and looking forward to stretching our legs tomorrow as we head to the mountain.
RMI Guide Casey Grom and the Kili crew!
GO TEAM!!!

After a night of heavy snow we had an awesome breakfast of blueberry pancakes. We then reinforced our camp in anticipation of the continuing storm. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and so I was inspired to write a poem about our adventure. Here goes:
Denali is the mountain, they call it the “great one”.
Here in North America it’s second to none.
To get to the summit, that is our goal.
Standing so majestic, it captures the soul.
On our way to the top, we have to dig deep.
With courage and strength, a reward we will reap.
On this journey, new friends have been made.
The memories we share will surely never fade.
Each step gets us closer to reaching our dream.
I know we can do it, we have a great team.
Look up to the clouds, the beauty that we see.
Rising so high, its name is Denali.
RMI climber Mark Kulow
Stay safe guys! Looks like an amazing view!
