Mt. Kilimanjaro: Team Enjoys Great Wildlife Viewing in Ngorongoro Crater

Posted by:

Day two on safari is going great! We are down in Ngorongoro Crater and the wildlife viewing is as good as ever. The team is taking to the safari life like a fish to water. Everyone is also psyched that we didn't have to pack our back and move locations for the first time in over a week. That's about all for now. RMI Guide Seth Waterfall

...now that’s what’s called, getting away from it all. What a beautiful view. With any luck, I’ll be seeing this one day too, in person. Thanks for the view from your location. Be safe.

Mambo poa... We are full on safari pros now. We left the Plantation Lodge at a relaxed pace this morning and after a couple of quick shopping missions we made it into Tarangire National Park. This is the 'Garden of the Elephants' and true to its name we have already seen about 50 of them before lunch. We are going to make our way through the rest of the park this afternoon on our way to Kikoti Camp. I'll check in again tomorrow. RMI Guide Seth Waterfall

Cotopaxi Express: Walter and Team Rest after a Successful Climb

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Ecuador

Elevation: 19,348'

Facebook Logo
Friday, July 4, 2014 – 10:32 AM PT We took advantage of great weather and climbing conditions yesterday to summit Cotopaxi (19,348')! We started climbing a little before 5 am, summitted around 1 pm, and were back at camp by 5 pm. Twelve hours of ascending and descending the glaciate slopes of Ecuador's most famous volcano, Cotopaxi. Although we were greeted by gusty winds as we approached the glacier, the sky was clear and the temperature was comfortable. By the time we strapped our crampons on, the wind had died down and the weather and climbing conditions could not have been better. The snow was perfect for cramponing, winds were about 10 mph all the way up to the summit, and the views of the surrounding peaks were stunning. After a long day of climbing we settled back into the climbers' hut and enjoyed a warm meal before crawling into our sleeping bags for a full night's sleep. This morning, after a leisurely breakfast, we visited a small pre-Incan archaeological site within Cotopaxi National Park before heading south to the Hacienda La Cienega. Now we're all set to enjoy showers, some more food, and comfortable beds. Nice work team, on safely climbing up and down a very impressive mountain. We'll rest here at La Cienega tonight and then head back into the capital, Quito, tomorrow. RMI Guide Mike Walter

Denali Expedition: Smith & Team Ready for the Summit!

Tuesday, June 18, 2024 - 8:47 pm PT

Hello readers!

Today we waited for our two guides to rejoin the team. A light wind kept the air chilly even with the intensity of the sun. Although the air temperature may read negative five, with the sun it feels a lot more comfortable and the tents can get well into the 70s. Freeze or fry they say on the mountain. We are well rested and our bodies adjusting to the altitude. We are ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the big day that we have all been waiting and training for. Tomorrow we try to summit Denali. The weather forecast looks promising. Maybe a bit windy at times but we are hoping it holds fair and allows Us to stand on top. Everyone is excited and anxious for the day to be here. Please send all the best of vibes our way. We will take them all! Hopefully the next dispatch is us saying we stood tall on the tallest peak in North America.

Goodnight all,

RMI Guide Hannah Smith and Team

Kilimanjaro: Hahn & Team at Karanga Camp

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

We've put the bad weather behind us -and it really wasn't all that bad. Morning at Barranco Camp was just perfect: cool dry air with no clouds above or below. There was still the ever present layer of smog/smoke down a few thousand feet below us, obscuring details, but otherwise not bothering anyone. We took off for the Great Barranco Wall a little before 9 AM and were soon coming to grips with its rocky ledges. The wall can make folks nervous since it appears to be plenty steep from below, but our team dealt admirably with any jitters and got to work moving uphill. We covered almost a thousand vertical feet in a little less than two hours and came out on a flat "summit" with amazing views of Kibo looming another vertical mile above. The glaciers sparkled in the morning light, looking impossibly steep between great rock faces. We traversed a few more valleys to reach Karanga Camp just after 1 PM. It was then an easy afternoon of resting and eating and staring at spectacular scenery. We're spending the night at 13,160 ft. There is no moon, but there are a million stars to silhouette the great bulk of Kibo. Best Regards, RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Ecuador Seminar: Hunt & Team Check in from Cayambe

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Ecuador

Elevation: 15,300'

Facebook Logo
Hello again, This is the Ecuador team checking in from 15,300' on Cayambe. We have successfully made the transition from comfortable city living to our slightly less glamorous base camp, and our excitement continues to grow. Through gaps in the clouds, we are finally able to catch a few glimpses of what lies ahead, with the summit looking as good as ever! Before heading uphill this morning, we were able to enjoy a little more of a relaxed start. We slept in a bit, partook in some fantastically hot showers, ate a good breakfast, and headed in to the Otavalo market. This market is the largest market of its kind in Ecuador, offering miles (literally) of artisanal souvenirs: paintings, textiles, wood carvings, clothing, you name it. It can almost be a bit of sensory overload when you first step in, with the endless stalls of crafts and cuisine. Our team did an admirable job of filling the extra space in the duffels with goodies! When its all said and done, though, we were ready to move on and head to the hills. The real work starts tomorrow, so the evening tonight is all about taking it easy. We are just about to head in for a nice hot meal and then prepare for our mountaineering skills refresher course tomorrow. Until then, RMI Guides Nick Hunt, Steve Gately, and the rest of the RMI team

Mt. McKinley: Hahn & Team Backcarry Gear to 14K Camp

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 14,200'

Facebook Logo
Saturday July 4th 11:00 pm PT Our first morning at 14K camp was calm and easy. We slept in until the sun peaked over Denali's West Rib at 9:15 AM. We had a leisurely breakfast in our new POSH dining tent (stolen from Billy Nugent's RMI Team) and then we geared up for retrieving our cached food, fuel and equipment from 13,500 ft. That just took us about two hours, round trip, and then the team took it easy for the afternoon. Billy Nugent's team made the top yesterday and we were happy to share camp with them for a couple of hours as they passed through on their descent to 11,000 ft. After dinner, we had a short refresher training session on climbing fixed ropes as of course that is our next goal, to climb the fixed ropes to 16,200 ft. As usual, we'll need to see what the weather does... it started snowing again this afternoon. Best Regards, RMI Guide Dave Hahn
