Aconcagua: Tucker & Team Arrive at Base Camp

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 13,800'

Facebook Logo
We were up early to catch the mule shuttle across the Vacas River. We could have waded across but that would have been a painfully cold start to our day. When do you get to be a cowboy in Argentina anyway? It made for some great photos. It took us a bit over six hours of climbing in beautiful weather to arrive here at Aconcagua Base Camp. We are settled in. All of our gear is here and in good shape. It resembles the team, good shape that is. Another fine meal and a warm sleeping bag; it just doesn't get anymore basic or nice. All is well. RMI Guide Mark Tucker

Denali Expedition: Team Van Deventer Packed & Ready

Elevation: 348'

May 14, 2017 - 9:35 am PT The May 12th Denali Team is loaded and ready to climb. We spent yesterday in town packing, repacking, sorting food, and enjoying the Talkeetna restaurant scene. Our bags are weighed, sorted, and now we just need weather to fly. Rain moved in overnight, but the news this morning is that weather in the range is good, so once things clear out here, we should be ready to launch for base camp. Hopefully that's sooner than later. We'll give another shout this evening and let everyone know how it went. RMI Guide Pete Van Deventer

Kilimanjaro: Grom & Team Enjoy Listening to the African Night

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Hello everyone - We spent yesterday touring Tarangire National Park which is known for its abundant elephants, in fact, it normally has more per square mile than any place on earth. However, with all of the rain Tanzania has been receiving lately, there weren't nearly as many gathered around the river that flows through Tarangire, but we still saw a few. They have had the luxury of having many watering holes to chose from. There were plenty of other animals as usual, and we got really close to a few big Giraffe, which was amazing. We end our day at a remote and off grid camp called Kikoti. It's a tented camp that boarders the park with elevated structures that are screened in and allow the night sounds of Africa in. After yesterday we decided to make an early departure today to increase our chances of seeing Cheetahs and Leopards, they still eluded us. It's been a memorable experience for everyone and great friendships forged. But finally it's time to return home to our families. Missing all of our family and most of our friends - RMI Guide Casey Grom

Shishapangma: Elias & Team’s Puja Ceremony

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Shishapangma

Elevation: 18,400'

Good evening from Shishapangma Base Camp! What a day... beautiful blue skies, no winds and a bright sun seemed like the prize we were awarded for yesterday's journey on not-such-fun conditions. A somewhat restless night (it was our first of many nights at 5,600m) gave way to excitement building up as our Sherpa team started to get our puja altar together for a nice morning ceremony. Climbing in the Himalaya without an offering or asking permission to the divine, is considered a sacrilege. The rest of the day was dedicated to getting acquainted at Base Camp, organizing gear, and receiving the second yak load (we have so much gear, that some of our kit had to wait yesterday.) We're heading to dinner as we speak. Tomorrow we're taking a walk to the so called "crampon point" or Depot Camp, in order to cache some gear and continue to build on our acclimatization process. Everyone is doing well, and eager to start climbing! RMI Guide Elias de Andres Martos

Can’t wait to hear about the ceremony. Well, for sure, you “aren’t in Kansas anymore”!!

Go, Galina, go!

Happy Acclimatization to all of the team members!

Peru Seminar: Blais & Team Move to Pisco Oeste

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Peru Seminar

Elevation: 15,300'

After a brief layover in Huaraz to shower, shave and eat a few meals at low elevation we're back at it. Today we moved up to 15,300' Pisco Oeste Base Camp. While we waited for our burros and arrieros to deliver our gear, we took a short detour to Refugio Peru just above our camp. By the time we had finished off some cappuccino and chocolate cake, our burros had arrived and it was time to set camp. Our camp lies in a beautiful alpine meadow surrounded by the massive peaks of Huandoy, Huascaran, Yanapaccha and our objective, Pisco Oeste. We're primed to pack up tomorrow and move to our high camp before our summit attempt the following day. The team is doing great and we're fired up for our next summit bid.

Denali Expedition: Jones & Team Prepare for Move to 14,000’ Camp

Elevation: 11,200'

May 31, 2016 - 5:52 pm PT Were back from our biggest day so far on this expedition. The train is very much on the track as we moved efficiently with perfect weather. The cold, crisp, and breathless air provided a flawless day. Not to mention the the rockstar crew we are climbing with - smooth operators. The route conditions from 11,200 - 14,200 ft camp are groomer. The views of the surrounding ridges, peaks, glaciers and distant rivers are proof we came to one of the most inspiring corners of the world. Now that we're back to camp, we will spend the afternoon chilling with our groceries and hydrating in hopes the splendid weather will continue. Tomorrow we look to move up to 14,200 ft camp and will keep you all in the loop as to our progress. Cheers, RMI Guide Tyler Jones

Denali Expedition: Van Deventer & Team Compose Rest Day Poetry

Posted by: , ,

Elevation: 14,200'

May 25, 2016 - 11:47 p.m. PDT The morning sun never showed at all, rather than views of "The Great One," all we saw was the inside of a ping pong ball. Blowing snow and midday brunch, spinach and egg burritos took us well past lunch. Life at 14 is cut and dry, we've prepped, we've cached, and we're ready to fly. Our eyes are fixed on the buttress above, we were surprised this evening by a tent dwelling dove. Coming high pressure may not be our best friend, but at least we'll have some views again. Toasted pop tarts keep our spirits light, we hope the summit is soon in our sights. ~~A poetic collaboration of RMI Guides Pete Van Deventer, Jess Matthews, and Robby Young

If Smores pop tarts are what you guys had,
Life at the top,
Ain’t half bad.

Wishing you all a continued safe (and amazing) journey! (*Hi, H!!*)

Denali Expedition: Walter & Team Check in from 11,000 ft Camp

Posted by: , ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 11,000'

May 11, 2016 - 1:25 pm PT Well, the forecast was correct and we had snow and wind overnight. So we decided to stay at 11,000' camp and enjoy a rest day after our carry to 13,700' yesterday. Most of today is being spent lounging around in our tents. Hopefully the forecast will continue to be correct and the rest of the week will see improving weather so that we can move up to 14,000'. Spirits are good, and are embracing these rest/weather days as we know they are making us stronger and more acclimated to the altitude. We'll check in again tomorrow, hopefully from 14k on Denali.
