MIssion Saipal: RMI Guide Hannah Smith & Team Depart Base Camp, Head Down Hill

Posted by:

Categories: Guide News

We woke this morning to a gorgeous view. With the help of daylight, we found a water source and enjoyed a cup of coffee. Perched on a grassy valley hillside, you could see snow capped mountains across the way. We all pointed at the ones we would climb if we had time, but unfortunately we do not. The col we went up and over steepened to a degree we were not comfortable going down so we headed back uphill. We arrived back at our Base Camp, but this time nothing was there. Everything has been packed up and headed downhill. We said goodbye to our home for the last 18 days, and made our way to what we call our jungle camp. Tomorrow we keep heading down hill back towards civilization, but on our way we are going to make a couple pit stops at the villages of two of the girls. Our sleeping bags our calling us. It's been a long day and last nights sleep wasn't the most comfy. Have a lovely day, RMI Guide Hannah Smith

Denali Expedition: Haugen & Team Pull Heavy Loads up Ski Hill

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 7,800'

Facebook Logo
June 16, 2017 10:02 pm PST Greetings from Camp 1 on Denali! Today the team took an early morning stroll up the Kahiltna, only mildly inconvenienced by absurdly large packs and sleds packed with all the supplies as food we'll need for the next several weeks. Traveling with so much weight takes some getting used to, and everyone is doing a great job adapting to the new systems in play. We arrived at the base of Ski Hill in a heavy snow fall, but after a much needed afternoon nap the sun came out and we were able to get a good view of our spectacular surroundings. Tomorrow, weather permitting, the plan is to walk uphill some more! With any luck, we'll be checking in from 9,600' tomorrow night. In Horiskey we trust, RMI Guides Mike Haugen, Pepper Dee, and Gloria Roe

The journey and people are usually the best part. And better to be back safely than not at all.

Kilimanjaro: Waterfall and Team Scale the Barranco Wall

Elevation: 13,200'

Hi this is Seth. The team is all up at Karanga Valley (13,200'). We started the day at a really relaxed pace with a later breakfast than we are used to. After that we enjoyed the views and sunshine, some dancing and a little frisbee while most of the other climbers jammed up the climbing route. After almost the whole camp moved out we climbed up the steep Barranco Wall by ourselves. After a lunch break on top we hiked to Karanga Valley. The cook made us an amazing second lunch in camp which was well received by this crew. Things really get rolling tomorrow as we head to high camp. I'll check in when we get there.

Aconcagua: Blais & Team Return to Mendoza

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

The last few days have been a whirlwind. Just three days ago we stood on the top of Aconcagua, the highest peak outside of Asia. We pushed hard to get down to the land of thick air, fresh food and running water. Last night we celebrated at our last camp of the expedition with a huge feast of carne asada, fresh tomato salad a little vino tinto and everyone's stories and jokes. Tonight we're really back in civilization. Freshly showered and dressed up, we're headed to sample some of Mendoza's renowned cuisine. For now we'll leave you with a shot from the summit. Cheers! RMI Guide Zeb Blais and team

Well, we have made it to Kilimanjaro High Camp and it has stopped raining. Those are two really good things. The upper mountain has a fresh dusting of snow and some clouds are still swirling around but all-in-all it's a pleasant day. We had lunch here in camp after a short day on the trail. Now everyone is resting and organizing gear. We are planning an early dinner and bed and then we'll be off to the summit! RMI Guide Seth Waterfall

Mt. Kilimanjaro: Hahn & Team Begin Climb to the Roof of Africa

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Elevation: 9,800'

Our team was up before daylight today, getting set to leave the Dik Dik Hotel. We were piling into the expedition bus at 7 AM and driving out of the garden-like grounds we'd grown comfortable in these past few days. As expected, it took about two hours to reach the Machame Gate of Kilimanjaro National Park, our starting point for the climb. We traveled through corn fields for much of the way, but worked up into banana and coffee plantations as we gained elevation. It took about two hours to register and organize porters and so we set out at 11 AM from the 5,900 ft road head. Clouds protected us from the sun as we walked through gradually steepening terrain in the lush forest. It took about six hours to reach the Machame Camp at close to 10,000 ft, about where the vegetation changed markedly from tall trees to more scrub like heather. The team demonstrated a high level of fitness, but all were relieved to come into a well built camp at the end of the day. Best Regards, RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Storm that mountain, Kevin!  Good luck and take some good selfies!  These are the types of achievement pictures that end up on a board for everyone to see at your surprise 90th birthday party.  Make ‘em good!

Hey Kevin,
I know your spirits are down with David’s injury…but you got this.  This is your dream!  Complete it and you will have stories to tell your kids…stories to tell the rest of life as a life’s lesson.  You are a trooper! 
Love Mom

Mt. McKinley: Nugent & Team Have a Snow/Rest Day

Posted by: ,

Elevation: 14,200'

June 22, 2014 - 12:04 am PT A snowy day here at 14K... Howdy all. Our team enjoyed a weather/rest day after our back-carry yesterday. Winds up on the West Buttress and steady snow through most of the day kept us from making an attempt at a carry up to 17K Camp. Tomorrow's weather outlook is a bit more promising and we are hoping to capitalize. On a brighter note, the two successful RMI teams came down from the summit and spent some time with us on their descent to the airstrip. It was a fun reunion for everyone and I congratulated those guys on their success and wish them safe passage down the Kahiltna. Wurd. RMI Guide Billy Nugent

Alaska Seminar: Davis and Team Fly onto the Glacier

May 19, 2014, 1:05 am PT Hello all - Our team is just crawling into their sleeping bags here at Kahiltna Base Camp. Our pilots at K2 Aviation found a way in between a few windy spells and at 5:45 pm we touched down in sunny cool weather. By 9:30 pm we were having dinner and very happy about making it onto the Kahiltna glacier. Many of the team could barely hide their enthusiasm from the moment they boarded the plane until we crawled into our sleeping bags for bed time. All is great! Goodnight friends and family - RMI Guides Leon Davis, Mike King and Katrina Bloemsma

Denali Expedition: Hahn & Team Appreciate Nice Weather for Gear Retrieval

Monday, June 17, 2024 - 10:25 pm PT

We are starting to feel quite lucky after another calm, beautiful day. We got up at a leisurely 6:30 AM and had a breakfast of bagels and bacon. By 9 AM we were walking downhill to 10,000 ft to pick up our cached supplies.  Down took 20 min, up then took about 90 min, including a nice rest break. It was just starting to get good and hot when we got back and dove into our tents for shelter from the sun. We didn't come out again until 5:30 PM when we suited up for a short review of the climbing techniques we plan to employ tomorrow. The goal would be to carry a load up and around "Windy Corner" using crampons and ice axes (rather than the snowshoes and ski poles we've been using). The team is excited to see some new terrain.

Best Regards,

RMI Guide Dave Hahn
