Mt. McKinley Expedition: Champion & Team Climb Fixed Lines

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Alaska

Elevation: 14,000'

Facebook Logo

Wednesday, June 11, 2025 - 10:22 pm PT

Today brought the perfection we've been waiting on since our journey began. Blue skies, sunshine, warmth. We walked up the fixed lines with the sun on our backs. The most technical climbing we have seen to date, we secured ourselves to the fixed lines with our ascenders and made our way to the ridge where we placed our final cache. We made it back to camp around 5pm, greeted with more sunshine, and re-hydrated before dinner. Mac'n'Cheeze was in the menu for the evening accompanied by chatter of a potential summit window. We look forward to a day of rest tomorrow, and are hopeful to move to 17,000' Camp Friday.

Fingers crossed!

Thanks for tuning in.

xoxo RMI Guides Hannah, Nikki, & Leif

Mt. Rainier: Kautz Seminar Trains on the Glacier

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

The Expedition Skills Seminar - Kautz team trained all week to hone the mountaineering skills needed to qualify for a Denali, Aconcagua, and other big mountain expeditions. The team learned crevasse rescue, fixed line travel, route finding, and avalanche forecasting. Poor weather and high avalanche danger prevented the team from making a summit attempt via the Katuz Glacier, but the time spend training and learning the advanced mountain skills will benefit all team members on their next mountain adventure. 

Congratulations Team!

Gokyo Trek: Elias & Team Begin Down Hill Trek

Elevation: 13,255'

Namaste from Dole - We have started our descent down valley, from our highest point reached yesterday, and our highest night spent in the Himalaya, at Gokyo. By merging into "almost" the main route to Everest Base Camp, we have started to see more people, making us gain a greater sense of accomplishment. The whether has kept us cool, and while the misty afternoon clouds have let us get a glimpse of new summits, like the impressive Cholatse, they have now fully come down upon us, adding a great deal of mysticism to the Buddhist landscape. We'll be reporting from Khumjung tomorrow, as we continue to move downhill. RMI Guide Elías de Andres Martos

The Five Day Summit Climb June 17 - 21, 2017 led by RMI Guides Andy Bond, Joe Hoch and Nick Scott made their summit attempt today. High winds and firm climbing conditions prevented the team from going above 13,800'. The group has spent the last two nights at Camp Muir, they will return to pack their gear and continue their descent to Paradise. We look forward to seeing them at Rainier BaseCamp later today.

RMI Guide Alex Barber Climbs to Camp 2 on Annapurna

Posted by:

Categories: Guide News

Made Camp 2 today, it's quite the distance from BC...and I'm still not even above 19,000'! The route to Camp 2 starts with a stretch of glacier travel. After which you gain a large cleaver that takes you to Camp 2. I had a leisurely morning in Camp 1, drinking insta - coffee and watching the weather before deciding to try for Camp 2. The weather today was all over the place. Annapurna's weather still feels very random and forecasts have been inaccurate. And as usual, what I'll do tomorrow will be dictated by the weather gods...

Mt. McKinley: Haugen & Team on Mountain Time

Elevation: 7,300'

June 12, 2014 - 9:02 pm PT RMI Team Haugen is at Kahiltna Basecamp. We departed just before 9:00 am from Talkeetna as the weather was clearing and Denali was looming in the distance. We have taken the day to organize our gear and get a plan together to tackle the lower glacier. Basecamp is in good shape with all of the new snowfall and we are excited to head out towards Camp 1 at 7,800' on the Kahiltna Glacier. We plan on leaving basecamp very early since it did get pretty warm during midday today. The adventure begins! RMI Guide Mike Haugen

Mt. McKinley: Upper West Rib Team Cache Gear at 9,900’

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 7,600'

Facebook Logo
June 3, 2014 - 7:55 pm PT Wow, it's nearly dinnertime and the team finally has a few minutes to check in. We have had a busy day. Despite a slightly ominous forecast, we awoke this morning to clear skies and no wind. Things looked favorable for us to move some group food up to a higher site. We ate a leisurely breakfast of bagels with bacon and cream cheese before loading up on a four-hour walk up to the cache site. This cycle of carrying gear up high, then returning back to a lower camp to sleep is crucial for our acclimatization. It exposes the body to a new altitude, but gives it time during the night to rest and recoup. We will be repeating this process with each of our higher camps. RMI Guides Eric Frank, Geoff Schellens and the Upper West Rib team

Mt. McKinley: Jones & Team On The Move Up the Kahiltna

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 7,800'

Facebook Logo
June 2, 2014 - 8:41 pm Today we made our first and heaviest move of the entire trip. We mounted our packs with big sleds dragging behind! Traveling down the Southeast fork of the Kahiltna Glacier, we departed base camp in cool conditions early this morning. We then met a brisk wind as we rounded the corner on to the main fork of the glacier. As we ascended the wind continued to increase, biting with cold that gave a taste of the temperatures we'll encounter higher on Denali, the Great One. Our crew did very well for our first real day of travel making great time to our camp at 7,800'. We built camp in short order and napped a few hours of the afternoon away hiding from the breeze and the intense sun rays! The dinner of soup, mac and cheese with bacon and a variety of cookies was welcomed by all, and the team continued bonding over stories from our varied and interesting backgrounds. Tomorrow, with the weather playing out in our favor, we will carry food, fuel and other supplies up hill and establish a cache near 10,000'. All is well here as we let the evening rest settle in. Stay tuned for more updates... RMI Guides Tyler, Garrett, Bryan and the team
