Mt. McKinley: Jones & Team on the Road to 14K Camp

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 14,200'

Saturday, June 6th 10:18 p.m. PT On the Road again! Yes, today we got to move up into the Genet Basin! We are currently snuggled up in our sleeping bags at McKinley's 14K Camp. Everyone did an excellent job today and climbed quite strong. We had a leisurely departure from 11K waiting for the perfect time of day. There was a lot of traffic on the route due to lots of teams sitting out this storm at 11K. However, with our strong group Tyler was able to giraffe neck around to see what was ahead and plan some strategic breaks in order to avoid the congestion. We arrived at camp around 4:15pm and everyone was quite efficient setting up camp. After a hard days work, everyone enjoyed many spatulas of Annie's Mac and cheese with crispy bacon. We are happy to have made the move and will check in again tomorrow! RMI Guides Tyler Jones, Lindsay Mann and Chase Nelson

Mt. McKinley Expedition: Walter & Team Back Carry and Plan for Tomorrow

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 11,200'

Once again the weather has been nothing less than spectacular for us up here on Denali. After a breakfast of smoked salmon, cream cheese, and bagels to start the day, we headed back downhill to retrieve our cache of gear at 9,500'. We arrived back at the 11k camp a few minutes after 2pm, with plenty of time to rest in the afternoon. As well as resting, eating, and drinking, we had a couple of chores to accomplish, namely building snow walls to fortify our camp and sorting our gear to cache up higher, which we anticipate doing tomorrow. The weather forecast looks good for tomorrow, so if it verifies we'll take advantage and get a cache in up high, likely at Windy Corner, around 13,500'. All of us on the first RMI Denali expedition would like to wish a very happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers in our lives. Thanks for keeping track of our progress. We'll keep you posted with updates as we continue this awesome adventure. RMI Guide Mike Walter

Hi Deepak and team,

I’m glad to hear that the weather has been good. Sounds like you’ve been eating well, too.

Have fun, and make some music on the mountain!

Kilimanjaro: Grom & Entire Team Reach Summit!

Elevation: 19,340'

We did it! 

100% on top!!!

The team has safely descended back to high camp after an 11:30 hour round trip to the “Roof of Africa”.

It was a cold but thankfully calm night into day here in Kilimanjaro. The team did an incredible job of taking care of themselves even when times got tough. I’m so proud of how this team did! 

We are exhausted as you might imagine and are just now sitting down to lunch and then we’ll head further down the mountain to our last camp at 10,000ft. 

So I’m going to keep this brief. 

We’ll share more when we get off the mountain! 

RMI Guide Casey Grom and the Kili Summiteers!

Denali Expedition: Van Deventer & Team Reach High Camp

Things worked well for us today to get to 17,000’ Camp. The morning was relatively warm, things looked calm above finally, and everyone was excited to go somewhere new. That was true of most of camp as many guide parties all took the opportunity to bump up to high camp. It was a busy day on the fixed lines and buttress, but overall, it went pretty smoothly for us.

We were one of the first parties to arrive at 17,000’ Camp in the midafternoon, and had plenty of time to build camp while taking breaks to rest and recover up here in the thin air. We are settled in comfortably, and headed to bed shortly to wake up and see if tomorrow is our day to go for the  summit!

Wish us fair weather and swift feet!

Torres del Paine: Dale & Team Arrive in Chile, Visit Penguin Colony

Posted by:

How often do you get to lounge in the warm sun on a boat as you zip across the Straights of Magellan? We went out to see the penguins and sea lions today and couldn't stop taking pictures. Not a cloud in sight on this hot summer day so we mirrored the sea lions and laid out in the sun. The penguins make everyone smile as they waddle around awkwardly on land and smoothly dart through the water. This afternoon we made it to Puerto Natales where we tasted the Calafate beer which has a sweet almost blueberry flavor. Legend has it if you eat some Calafate berries you will return, and if you eat a lot then you will just stay in Patagonia. I think right now, we are all happy to eat some. We just completed a group gear check and pack and are off to explore this funky town for the evening. Tomorrow we hit the trail! RMI Guide Christina Dale

Mexico’s Volcanoes: King & Team Enjoy Rest Day, Now Ready for Orizaba

Posted by: ,

Elevation: 14,000'

We had a relaxing day in historic Puebla yesterday. The Team spent the day walking around the markets and taking in the beautiful buildings and cathedrals. The city was founded in 1531 and is a busy commercial hub filled with murals, colorful buildings, delicious food and several ornate cathedrals. Today we are headed East through rolling Mexican farm land to the small village of Tlachichuca near the base of Pico de Orizaba. After we pack our gear, 4x4 trucks drive us up to Piedra Grande hut at 14,000’. From there we will get ready for a summit bid tomorrow. The weather looks promising and recent snowfall should make for great climbing. Everyone is doing well and looking forward to the main objective, 18,491’ Orizaba. RMI Guide Mike King

Denali Expedition: Van Deventer & Team Summit!

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 20,310'

Saturday, June 9, 2018 1:04 AM The couple weeks of hauling massive loads, sitting through snow storms, sunburns, and eating way too much bacon culminated in that fleeting joy of standing on the summit of Denali this afternoon! Our forecasts have been a bit vague, and sometimes less than confidence inspiring, but we woke up this morning to stellar conditions. It was clear, calm as a koala with a full belly of eucalyptus, and the sun promised to warm things from the forecasted overnight temp of -25. We made our way across the autobahn, glad to see the sun part way across. We ticked off the stretches: zebra rocks, arch deacons tower, the football field, pig hill, and the iconic summit ridge. After 8.5 hours of climbing, we were standing on the summit! It was a warm, beautiful day, with an intense sky of clouds that had built at all levels, making surrounding Alaska incredibly dramatic. After our photos and some time, it was time to head home. We are safely back in camp working on a late dinner. Tomorrow we hope to descend to the land of oxygen and warmer temps, hopefully 11,000' or 7600' camp. RMI Guides Pete, Jess, Taylor, and Team

Denali Expedition: King and Team Cache at 9,700’

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 9,700'

Facebook Logo
Friday, June 8, 2018 - 3:15 PM PT The clouds cleared after dinner last night with expansive views of the lower Kahiltna Glacier. We were able to see the descending RMI Group after their successful summit and glean some route info. With the surrounding peaks providing the backdrop, we set off at 5:30 AM for 9700' on the glacier. The route ascends Ski Hill, think fun blue run at a resort. Our goal was to cache food and fuel to make the move to Camp 2 lighter. We took a lot of breaks to take pictures and not over do it after yesterday's heavy day. We are all back in camp at 7800' drying our boots and enjoying the heat on the tents. The plan is to eat, sleep then move to 11,200' tomorrow. We'll take advantage of the cooler temps and leave before 5 AM. The route is in incredible shape with lots of snow and a well traveled route. The climb doesn't get easier but these first 5 days of getting in position to climb above 11,200' are tough on the hips, feet and shoulders. Still keeping our fingers crossed while we listen to bush planes fly overhead. RMI Guide Mike King

Following your climb as Scott’s mom is a life long friend. Scott I hear my son tell her baseball players “you have the best equipment money can by, you have the talent and are physically fit, s just .....hit the f——-g ball.  I think you have all those things and more so jus climb the mountain. May your God be with each of you and keep you safe.

Aconcagua: Nugent & Team Carry to Camp 2

Elevation: 16,200'

We are back safely in Camp 1 after a beautiful carry up to Camp 2 at over 18,000ft. This camp in addition to being our "Camp 2" is also called Guanacos Campo 3, or Chopper Camp because there used to be the pieces of a crashed helicopter sprinkled about. Those are all cleaned up these days and virtually no trace of a crashed helicopter is left. We enjoyed sunny skies and calm winds all day today while making great time. We were three-ish hours up and just over an hour down with a nice break up at our cache site in between. The team is back down soaking up some sun and relaxing the afternoon away. We have a rest/acclimatization day on deck that will hopefully set us up well for our climb higher. All for now... RMI Guide Billy Nugent

May 17, 2015 - 10:24pm PST Good evening all, Today was a great day to be in the mountains! The sun shone bright this morning as we left camp for the north side of Radio Tower. We found great conditions moving up and the ridge offered us amazing panoramas of Mt Hunter, Foraker, and Denali. The team performed very well all day and we spent the late afternoon sitting in shade to review knots. Tomorrow will be tech training intensive here at camp. Pancakes & bacon for breakfast!
