I was just checking our standings for BOEING ON THE MOVE. We suck. We are 3062 out of all the teams. Not sure how many more teams are behind us. Probably 1 or two. And your activity is next to last on our team. I’m kicking your butt. So please stop lounging around the pool, waiting for the umbrella drinks and get moving. ;)

The Expedition Skills Seminar - Emmons led by RMI Guides Leif Bergstrom & Ben Thorneycroft have been training and climbing via the Emmons Glacier. Yesterday they moved to Camp Schurman and this morning launched their alpine start. Their team was in the summit crater around 7 am and is now making their way back to camp. They will spend a second night at Camp Schurman and then continue down to the trailhead near White River Campground tomorrow. The team will conclude their adventure tomorrow afternoon at Rainier BaseCamp in Ashford.
Nice work team!

We're at 11,000 ft and loving it. The team did strong work this morning getting out of camp by 5 AM and onto the now familiar route. Packs were heavy but our sleds were lighter than yesterday. We made great time and everyone seemed in high spirits to be leaving the Kahiltna and getting to where we could see out. The great weather continued. We were in bright sunshine for building our new camp at the foot of "Motorcycle Hill". Tomorrow we'll drop down to retrieve our cache at 10,000, which shouldn't take too long. Then we'll prep for going higher.
Best Regard,
RMI Guides Dave, Sam H, Sam M, Nick

Love the updates! In case they read these to you at some point, Katie you might be tickled to know a YouTuber won the US open in a pretty epic fashion against Rory :)

The winds ramped up last night and the temps dropped. The trend persisted into the morning as we had breakfast and coffee. Our decision to stay put today was justified, as winds continued all day today, which would have made travel difficult at best and dangerous at worst.
Instead of packing up camp, we enjoyed another rest day. We had little to gain to attempt to move camp in such conditions, as our team is acclimatizing to the altitude and recovering from the past week's work here on Denali at 11,200'.
Reading, snacking, stretching, snoozing, listening to music, and shooting the breeze were the main activities for our team today. We're on standby for the winds to abate so that we can make the move up around Windy Corner to Genet Basin at 14,200'.
We'll check in again tomorrow to keep you apprised of our progress.
Glad the climb is going well, and that you were able to rest yesterday, instead of climbing in rough conditions. While you prepared for the trip up to 14K, Corey Kluber pitched a no hitter, the second in the MLB in 2 days (6th overall), LeBron and the Lakers came from way back to beat GS in the 7/8 play-in game, the PGA golf championship prepared to start, the Bruins took a 2-1 lead on the Capitals, and Juventus won the Coppa Italia. Just thought you might enjoy a short sports report.
Be safe and have fun.

Hello again everyone
We had a good nights rest last night and today just a short hike up to 15,000ft to our High Camp. It was mostly sunny today with great views of Kilimanjaro and our intended route for tomorrow’s climb.
The team has just wrapped up lunch and discussed in great detail the plan for tomorrow’s climb. Everyone knows what what we’ll be wearing, what will be in the pack, as well as the schedule.
Our game plan will be to wake at 11pm and have a quick breakfast at 11:30, then hopefully hit the trail right at midnight. The team has been doing great thus far and I’m expecting us to reach the summit in 7 to 8 hours if things go according to plan.
I’m also going to bring our Satellite phone to hopefully make a few calls from the summit.
So everyone back home please keep your phones handy and if you receive a call from a strange number please answer. We are seven hours ahead of the east coast time zone.
Wish us luck!
RMI Guide Casey Grom and the Kili crew
