Denali Expedition: Walter & Team at High Camp, Ready for Summit Bid

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 17,200'

Facebook Logo
Saturday, June 2, 2018 - 8:30 pm PT We woke to perfect weather so we fired up the stoves, had a hot breakfast and packed up camp. We were climbing before 9am, headed up toward the headwall en route to 17k camp. The weather was perfect and so were the views. We made it to camp in six hours. And then it took us another couple of hours to build camp, and another few on top of that for us to get dinner made (our stoves are rather anemic at this altitude). If all goes well, we'll try for the top tomorrow. We'll see what the weather throws at us in the morning, but the forecast remains good through mid week. RMI Guide Mike Walter

Kilimanjaro: Grom & Team’s First Day of Safari

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Facebook Logo
Safari time! Today was the first day of safari for us and we headed east to visit the beautiful Lake Manyara, which is know for its tree climbing lions, pink flamingos, and abundant species of birds. Unfortunately we missed those famous lions, but everyone enjoyed the day cruising around in our safari vehicles. It’s pretty hot here in Africa, so I'm sure that kept many of the animals hiding in the shade. However we did manage to see a few wildebeest, zebras, Cape buffalo, giraffe, hippos, baboons, impalas and many birds. It was a pretty nice introduction to the incredible wildlife diversity that Africa has and the team is looking forward to seeing more tomorrow. We finished the day spending a few hours relaxing and exploring the grounds of our amazing lodge. Check it out for yourself. www.plantation-lodge.com RMI Guide Casey Grom and the Safari crew

Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Check Equipment and Get Ready for Flight

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Vinson Massif

As expected, today was an easy day of mountain climbing. We met in the hotel dining room for our introductory strategy session... outlining what steps need to be taken in preparing to fly four and a half hours in a Russian jet and to disembark and go climbing in the remote interior of a frozen continent. Next up were equipment checks to be sure each climber had the necessary gear for the journey. The afternoon was then spent either walking the windy sidewalks tracking down odds and ends in the shops of Punta Arenas, or in simply resting and recuperating from the long flights and time changes we endured. Patagonian weather is living up to its crazy reputation as we had a typical spring mix of rain showers, brilliant sunshine and then ferocious gusts of wind all in any given ten minute period. We braved the elements, going for an early (7PM) dinner in another fine and friendly downtown restaurant and came out to twilight and blissfully reduced winds at 9PM. Tomorrow we’ll submit our gear for packing on the plane and we’ll enjoy what should be our last day in South America before Vinson. Best Regards RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Congrats to the whole team! I felt lucky to have great guides, and I’m coming back next year in July.  July is my favorite month.

Posted by: Yvonne Young on 7/20/2017 at 8:01 pm

I was blown away - literally and figuratively - by this experience.  Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement.  Our entire team pulled together - all 9 climbers and 3 guides - to make this an event of a lifetime for everyone on the hill.  I feel a special closeness to each and every one of them.  Who wants to do it again?!?  Sign me up!

Kilimanjaro: Grom & Team Visit Tarangire National Park & Conclude their Adventure

Posted by:

Hello everyone We spent yesterday touring Tarangire National Park which is known for its abundant elephants, in fact, it has more per square kilometer than any place on earth and it didn’t disappoint. There were plenty of other animals as usual, and we got close to a few big Giraffe, which was amazing plus a leopard sighting too. We ended our day at a remote and off grid camp within the National Park and surrounded by wildlife. The camp has screened in rooms that allow the night sounds of Africa in. There pretty nice rooms to be honest, so maybe “glamping” is a better description. It's been a memorable experience for everyone and great friendships forged. But finally it's time to return home to our families. Thanks for following! RMI Guide Casey Grom and the Safari crew!

Kilimanjaro: Grom & Team Visit Ngorongoro Crater and Maasai Village

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Jambo everyone, Today we visited Ngorongoro Crater, considered by some to be the eighth wonder of the world. The crater is roughly 100 square miles and is home for more than 25’000 animals that have taken up residence. We hit the road early with hopes of catching a few more animals before the heat of the day sent them in search of shade. There were many sightings today of hyenas, jackles, ostrich, and countless other birds. We manage to see a ton of Lions, 24 to be exact. They seemed to be everywhere and we got really close to a large group of 11 of them. The also managed to see 1 Black Rhino, although not as close as we would have hoped for. We wrapped up the day with a visit to a Maasai village not far from the craters rim. The Maasai people are a semi-nomadic tribe that exist almost entirely off of their cattle. The team spent time asking questions and enjoyed being shown around their small and simple village. We have just finished another wonderful meal here at the plantation lodge and the team is off to bed after a long, but very rewarding day on safari. RMI Guide Casey Grom and the safari crew

Sounds like you really had a great time at the crater, and the pictures tell it too! Lovely post! Thanks for sharing. The Ngorongoro really is a must-visit destination when heading to Tanzania. Just looking at the photos make me want to head to the country at once. Did you seek help from a tour operator for your trip? Would love to hear about it. Anyways! Keep safe and looking forward to reading more of your adventures!

You guys look you had a blast visiting the crater and the village! I can’t wait to do the same during my trip. I heard visiting the Maasai village is a must if you’re in the area. I am honestly excited to get to know the Maasai people and their way of life which seems so different from what I am used to. I also read that the Maasai people welcome visitors to their village warmly with a song and dance. They even do this traditional dance known as the “adumu” or mostly commonly known as the jumping dance. Did you guys to experience this too when you went for a visit?

Denali Expedition: Jones and Team Wait Out the Weather with a Quesadilla Extravaganza

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 14,200'

Today was another rest day with a top notch breakfast donated from our fellow RMI team Mike Walter who is currently on the way down to the airstrip. The breakfast quesadilla extravaganza started with snow and ended with heavy snow. We said good bye to Walter team and are looking forward to some training in the next few hours to dial in our technique for the next stage of our climb to carry supplies for our high camp. This will set the stage for our summit push when the weather allows. For now we will out chill the snow and let you know how our carry turns out tomorrow! We are wishing good luck to the Van Deventer and Hailes teams as they are pushing to high camp today for their summit bid! RMI Guide Tyler Jones

Dave and Team! Keep it up! Thinking of you and praying for clear blue skies!

Posted by: Paul on 6/9/2018 at 5:56 am

Dave and team, thinking of you guys and hoping the weather clears and you get some clear, calm skies. Couldn’t quite see the mountain from the office, but had a great view of the sleeping lady this afternoon. Pray for us as we embark a hike to Thunderbird Falls with the kids on Sunday - 2 miles/100 feet elevation gain round trip.
Much love,

Alaska Seminar: Dale & Team are On the Kahiltna Glacier

Posted by: , ,

Elevation: 7,300'

After a great night sleep, and tasty breakfast at the Roadhouse, we had the most scenic flight I've ever had into the Alaska Range. We easily landed on the snow thanks to the K2 pilots, and build ourselves a great camp at the base of Mount Francis. Everyone was all smiles while digging out tent platforms because of the sunny weather and perfect views. After moving into the tents, snacking on some salami and chocolate the team headed out to learn more mountaineering techniques. Self arrest, rope travel and foot work were all refreshed through the afternoon. Now for some hot food and drinks in our spacious kitchen tent. RMI Guide Christina Dale

Mike Walter & Team Kick Off the RMI Denali Season!

Elevation: 348'

We are kicking off RMI’s 2018 Denali climbing season. Our team met in Anchorage on Monday afternoon and traveled north to the small town of Talkeetna. Yesterday was a busy day of packing gear and preparing for our expedition, including a trip to the National Park Service to register our group and have a pre-trip orientation. With our bags packed and weighed for loading onto the glacier planes, we’re all set for our adventure. Currently there is some stormy weather that is not allowing airplanes to access the Alaska Range, so we’re in a holding pattern until we get a clearing. We will keep you up to speed with the team’s status. RMI Guide Mike Walter
