Everest Base Camp Trek & Island Peak Climb: Grom & Team - Feels Like Christmas in March

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Everest BC Trek

Elevation: 11,300'

Greetings from Namche once again. Today we were greeted with a fresh blanket of snow in town, but only a few inches. We had planned on doing a little hiking to try and catch a glimpse of Everest, but the new snow and cloud cover kept us close to home. So we spent the day drinking coffee, telling stories and doing a little shopping in town. It almost felt like Christmas to be honest! Everyone is doing great and happily enjoyed the relaxing day here. RMI Guide Casey Grom and crew P.S. I'd like to wish my dad a special Happy Birthday! Wish I could throw a snowball at you pops! I love you.

Aconcagua:  Trek to Basecamp

Elevation: 10,550'

Good morning! This is Billy checking in from Argentina. All is well and we are en route to Aconcagua Basecamp. We hit the trail on Tuesday morning with fairly light loads on our back. All of our group gear, tents, fuel and food was sent along to basecamp by mules from our outfitter Grajales Expeditions. We spent our first night on the trail at Pampa de las Lenas at around 9,000'. Yesterday we broke camp and began the walk to Casa de Piedra at 10,550' where we spent last night. Everyone is doing well and we will be leaving shortly for our final trek into basecamp. We will check in again soon. RMI Guide Billy Nugent & Team

Acclimatization Hikes and Rest at Basecamp

Elevation: 17,575 ft.

A three a.m. snowstorm blew through just as our Sherpa team was trying to decide whether to go ahead with a carry to Camp One. Tendi and the boys wisely decided to give it a miss. Ultimately, it was only two inches, but it changed the basecamp scenery immensely. Leif Whittaker and I took an easy rest day while Chad, Casey and Seth took Scott, Rob and Wendy on acclimatization hikes. Several of the team went all the way up to Pumori Camp One for a little altitude and a lot of views into the Western Cwm. The big event of our day was Jeff Martin's planned departure for home. He has worked good and hard for a week now (on top of several months, pre-trip) to get our logistics off on the right foot, but now he is needed back on Mount Rainier. We said goodbye to him with a lively, latenight game of Texas Hold 'Em and a good and hearty breakfast. Now that most teams have arrived, we were entertained with a steady stream of old friends passing through and telling their stories of travels and treks over tea. We'll continue our training for the icefall tomorrow.

Mt. Rainier: Summit Success: Four Day Climb Reaches the Top at Sunrise

Posted by: , , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 14,410'

Facebook Logo

At 5:45 am this morning, under a canvas of clear skies and the first light of dawn, our Four Day Climb team—led by Ray Holt and an incredible group of climbers—stood on the summit of Mount Rainier.  

The team encountered some wind while navigating the Disappointment Cleaver, but by the time they reached the summit, the winds had eased, offering a calm and peaceful moment at 14,410 feet.

Now on their descent, the team is making steady progress back to Camp Muir.  

Congratulations to all the climbers and guides on this unforgettable achievement!

Denali Expedition: Smith and Team Start Their Descent

Elevation: 14,000'

Hello Reader,

We are writing you from lower elevation. Today we packed up our camp at 17k and made the walk down to 14k camp. Packs were feeling heavy, Legs were feeling heavy, bodies were feeling heavy. It's been a big 36hrs for the team and we are all feeling it. But with each step down we feel that much better. We are already thinking of showers and food and all the comforts we gave up to come out here. It's been a crazy ride, but we still have 2 more days Of walking strong and smart to get out safely. Fingers crossed, the weather is good enough to walk in and good enough to fly in on Saturday morning.

For now We are all looking forward to a good night’s sleep not at 17k camp.

RMI Guide Hannah Smith and Team

Denali Expedition: Okita & Team Excited for Better Weather and Getting Ready to Move

Elevation: 11,000'

May 30, 2017 Finally we get a break. After nine days of squirrelly, cold, snowy weather the sun broke out just prior to noon. There was an inkling of better weather coming earlier, but nothing definitive. And when it broke, camp went nuts with folks either moving or carrying loads. We opted to stay put, not liking the idea of fighting all that traffic going up Motorcycle Hill and coming into camp at 14,200' late, needing to build camp as the shadows overtake camp and the temperature drops 30 degrees. A couple of folks are fighting small colds, and this warm, easy day is just what the doctor ordered. When we saw rope teams waiting for 30-40 minutes to just leave camp because of the traffic, we felt pretty good about the decision. We certainly enjoyed the day as it became spectacularly sunny and clear. This is the Denali I love and dream of coming back to every year. With the weather folks are streaming into camp and it's as big as I've seen it. But, with just a little luck, we'll be out of here early and moving into a 14,200' camp that has been vacated by the crowds of climbers amassed there waiting for their opportunity to move to 17,200' camp for a bid for the summit. Everyone's dispositions have brightened with the sunshine, which is amazing considering the good cheer among the team even in the poor weather. We'll be talking to you from 14,200' soon! RMI Guides Brent Okita, Christina Dale and JT Schmitt

May 5, 2015 11:27 pm PT Hi everyone. Another beautiful sunny day on the glacier! Perfect to go out for a bit of climbing and training. We left this morning in the cold shadow of Mt. Hunter and made our way up into a small basin on the north side of Horiskey's Hump. Stopping periodically to study the glacier and identify some key features that make this frozen river so interesting. The team made great time and we were able to stand on top while getting some good practice on fixed line travel. By late afternoon the team was back at camp building a few more walls and celebrating Cinco de Mayo courtesy of John and his guacamole. Good night. RMI Guide Leon Davis

Vinson Massif:  Hahn & Team Move to High Camp

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Vinson Massif

Elevation: 12,150'

A great day for climbing, at last. We were out of the tents just after the sun broke the big freeze at Low Camp. Conditions looked much better today, so we ate breakfast, tore down the tents and hit the trail. Actually, we broke the trail, which wasn't too big a deal. The fixed ropes were under about two or three inches of hard wind blown snow. It was a long time on a steep angle but most of the way, the surface was perfect for our crampons. We worried that the wind might come up as we topped the ridge, but we cleared that area fast and escaped the big chill. Five and a half hours of hard work brought us in to beautiful "High Camp" at 7 PM. It was perfectly calm and sunny at 12,150 ft and we set to work building a comfortable and secure camp. We like this one to be secure since we are right on the edge of a dramatic and profound drop-off. One doesn't have to go but 75 feet to be staring straight down the 3000 ft to low camp. Looking out to the west is a shining sea of ice and low cloud stretching seemingly forever. We ate dinner and prepped our packs for tomorrow. It just might be our summit day. Best Regards RMI Guides Dave Hahn
