Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Pleased to Reach Vinson Base Camp

Posted by: ,

Elevation: 7,200'

Hey – this is Dave Hahn calling from Vinson Base Camp. Yeah – I know, we started the day at the tip of South America, but we have made it all the way through Union Glacier and up to Vinson Base Camp. It’s 1:30 in the morning, we got the day going a long time ago. We were picked up from our hotel this morning a little after 7 in the morning so we have been on the go all day. The weather was a little iffy at Union for getting out to Vinson and it took a little time but we got out, or most of us got out. Jeff Justman, JJ, my other guide on this trip is still back there at Union Glacier. But we took the opportunity to get all the climbers out, but my co-leader, JJ, is back there at Union. So we will hope to have him to join us tomorrow. That would be nice if that works out. We will see what the weather does. We have our Base Camp built and conditions aren’t too bad here right now. We are pretty optimistic and pretty pleased with our selves getting all the way in, two big important flights done and we can start concentrating on the mountain. Thank you, RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Mt. McKinley: Jones & Team Move to 14,000’ Camp

Posted by:

Elevation: 14,200'

June 8, 2014 - 5:50 pm This morning we woke to warmer and windless air. The team packed our camp, had quick coffee with oatmeal and a granola bar. We then packed tents away, and organized snowshoes along with most of the sleds, some trash and few extra things we could spare to leave behind in a cache for us to pick up on our decent. The travel was as calm and nice as we could ask for with light clouds passing over head. If we could complain about our weather we would just say we were too hot at times. This was a welcome change to the chilly morning we climbed in for our carry yesterday. Our crew made great time, even adding a rest stop on a completely windless Windy Corner. Once we arrived at camp our days work was far from over as the snow began to fall. We dug tent platforms, built another priceless kitchen posh house and prepped camp for a storm that is expected over the next few days. We are now getting some rest and fluffing our feathers. Soon will have a deluxe meal of quesadillas with chicken, fresh veggies, beans and rice to fill our bellies and help us sleep warm in our new camp in the Genet Basin at 14,200 ft. Tomorrow we have earned a full rest day of eating, drinking and acclimating. Will be in touch soon! Cheers, RMI Guides Tyler, Garrett, Bryan and the "No Troubles" crew!

Congratulations Team !!

You’re moving up the mountain like a well oiled machine.  I think 14k may be my favorite camp up there.

Tyler, Garrett - Don’t know where you’ll be in September but I’m signed up on the Sept. 19th, 4 day climb at Rainier.

Smith & Team’s First Views of Aconcagua

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 10,550'

Windy windy windy. We left Pampa de Lenas amd continued our journey up valley. What started as a light breeze grew stronger and stronger throughout the day. The wind whipped down valley creating dust clouds. Our mouths became gritty. Our skin felt rough. Our bare skin got sand blasted. It felt like tiny stings on our shins. It was as if mother nature was trying to push us away. But we put our heads down and leaned into it. Right before camp we were rewarded with our first views of Aconcagua and her neighboring peak Amigino. They look so big from where we stand. Towering 12,000 feet above us sits the summit. Fingers crossed, all the stars align and we will be standing up there in just shy of two weeks. But before that we are going to focus on our next goal, arriving at basecamp.

Talk to you all tomorrow from Plaza de Argentina,

RMI Guide Hannah Smith and team

Ecuador Volcanoes: Gately & Team Acclimate on Rucu Pinchincha

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Ecuador

Elevation: 15,700'

Facebook Logo
A good nights rest brought us yet to another unseasonably sunny Ecuadorian morning and our first acclimatization hike up Rucu Pinchincha (15,700ft). The day started with a taxi ride from our hotel to the Teleferique de Quito, a gondola ride that would take us to 13,500ft on the eastern flanks of the active volcano. The hike starts by following a rolling ridge through high alpine meadows until we traverse to the peaks northern side where a different character is shown. We leave behind mild grassy slopes for volcanic rock and loose scree. The climb finishes with a challenging but fun Cass 3 scramble past several ledges to the mountains summit. The crew did great with the new altitude and the weather held clear and gave us panoramic views of the Ecuadorian Andes, including Cayambe (18,996ft) our first objective of the trip. We spent a few moments on top taking photos and hydrating before descending back to the Teleferique and the thicker air of Quito! Off to dinner in a short while to enjoy the traditional dishes of Ecuador. Tomorrow takes us to Fuya Fuya for more acclimatizing and the city of Otovalo! Thanks for following. RMI Guide Steve Gately

Denali Expedition: Van Deventer & Team Wait out the Weather

May 25, 2017 We had the sun this morning, but a large cloud cap over the summit convinced us to wait another day to carry. It was a great day to let the tents bake, dry wet items, and people watch around camp. We capped it with a dinner of quinoa, lentils, kale, and squash in a red wine, bouillon, and Dijon reduction. It was a nice to have some fresher tasting food after 12 days on the mountain. Hopefully we wake to clear skies tomorrow and get our cache on above! RMI Guides Pete, Jess, Jenny and team

Alaska Seminar: Davis & Team Receive New Snow, Enjoy Weather Day

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Alaska Seminar

May 22, 2017 We had a warmer night due to the current snow storm that rolled in last night, a few inches of snow blanketing our tents and gear. Weather days are a breeze when you have such an engaging and talkative group. We enjoyed a casual breakfast with multiple rounds of coffee while the group shared all sorts of conversation ranging from favorite cocktails to the intricacies of interviewing international terrorists. Our day progressed with more snow, Avalanche beacon clinic, naps and skills practice. We are hoping for the weather to lighten up and move camp in the next few days. Until that point the group continues to be eager to learn, laughing often and practicing the variety of mountaineering skills taught so far. To finish the day the team engaged in group snow Yoga and began building a shrine of some sort. Time will tell. RMI Guide Leon Davis

Aracely (Sally)—much love from the walking trail across from Bradford. I’m still walking up and down that hill without you. No snow here. Enjoy!!!

Posted by: Debra Solomon on 5/23/2017 at 6:41 pm

A big cheer from those at sea level!  Hope the gear is holding up, the boots comfy enough and the sleeping bags cozy.  In the next update can you give a quick summary of the next several days plan. To Sally meet you by the tree!  Tell Patty Cloud Computing won the Preakness.

Mt. McKinley Expedition: Beren & Team Take Another Day at 14K

Greetings from 14,000’ camp on Mt. McKinley. Part any mountain adventure is reacting to the weather conditions. And today’s weather has us waiting, resting and acclimatizing for another day. The team is getting better acquainted as our conversations are ranging much further today than on previous rest day. Our spirits remain high as we sit here in great shape with our cache already stored above the fixed line. Now we're just waiting for a good weather window to make our move to High Camp at 17,000’ and then a bid for the top. So we are patiently waiting: relaxing, drinking tea, and enjoying each other’s company here at 14 camp. We'll hang tight up here and wait for a good stretch of weather, to go higher. That's all the news from Mt. McKinley and we'll be talking to you soon. RMI Guide Jake Beren and Team

Dear Vince,  How are you all fairing waiting this weather out.?  I hope you will be able to start again soon.  Serena home from Europe this Sat, i was thinking you would be Sun but that seems not to be.  At least I will have one of my beloved crew back with me and the little boys.  We are fine, just waiting and watching for news from you.  I can’t wait for dinner at The Serbian Crown with our favorite meal and just the two of us….I love you,  please be careful, come home to us!  Lea
