Colin, haven’t heard anything about you in a long time. I’m excited about your climb. I think it’s great that you are doing this.

From RMI Guides Alan Davis and Will Ambler on the Easton Glacier: We caught a windy but stunning sunrise on the summit of Mt. Baker this morning. 100% of the climb reached the top. We are back at camp and plan to walk out tomorrow.
Congrats to the team!

The North Cascades Custom Climb led by RMI Guide Jackson Breen reached the summit of their first objective this morning: Mt. Shuksan via the Fisher Chimneys. The team is making their descent back to the trailhead. Tomorrow they will rest as they turn their focus to their second objective: Mt. Baker.

Early this morning, the Four Day Climb teams, led by RMI Guides Dave Hahn and Dominic Cifelli, successfully reached the summit of Mt. Rainier!
They were treated to a stunning sunrise and clear skies as they stood at 14,410 feet, taking time to celebrate their achievement and soak in the incredible views. After savoring their moment at the top, the teams began their descent to Camp Muir around 7:00 a.m. and are now continuing down to Paradise.
We look forward to welcoming them back in Ashford later this afternoon and celebrating a safe and successful climb!
Congratulations climbers!

Namaste!
Hello from Kathmandu – where the whole team (and all of our bags!) have arrived.
We spent yesterday recuperating from the long flights and trying to make sense of that 12-hour time difference. Everyone stayed awake long enough for our first of many team dinners on the rooftop of Mezze.
We had a full day today preparing for our trip – going over the schedule, checking all of our gear and picking up any last-minute items we needed from Thamel.
This afternoon, we hopped on the bus and explored Kathmandu. We started at one of the largest spherical stupas in the world – the sacred Boudhanath. We learned about the ancient art of Thangka and received blessings from the llama. Then we headed to other side of town where we held our water bottles close as we walked the steps to the top of Swayambhunath temple – also affectionately known as the Monkey Temple. I’m happy to report no monkey was able to snatch anything from this team.
We ended our day with a meal at OR2K in Thamel where we enjoyed huge platters of delicious hummus, falafel, and buttery naan. Trust me when I tell you, we will all sleep well tonight with full bellies and so much anticipation for what’s to come.
It’s always lovely to spend a couple days in the vibrant, sound-filled city of Kathmandu but we are all looking forward to the peace of the Khumbu valley.
Tomorrow we’re off!
RMI Guides Jess Wedel, Sam Marjerison and team

Really sorry about those PB cups. They will taste even sweeter when you return…
Glad to hear you all are breathing thicker air and moving strong in the storm. Thanks for letting us stay part of this journey. You are all an inspiration and I am proud that my kids get to hear these stories of their adventurous uncle.
Thinking of you Dave and team on the decent.
Gumdrop.
