Aconcagua: Tucker & Team Ready to Move Uphill

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 13,800'

Today our team enjoyed a luxurious day of rest at Aconcagua Base Camp. We breakfasted on deconstructed omelettes, and did a whole lot of relaxing for most of the day. Highlights included the occasional shower, and getting to catch up with Mike King, JM Gorum, and their RMI team as they descended to base camp following their successful summit bid. Our team is well rested, and though we will miss the pleasantries of Base Camp, we are unanimously excited to move uphill. More tomorrow! RMI Guides Mark Tucker and Pepper Dee

Denali: Upper West Rib Expedition Team Enjoys a Day of Rest

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 11,200'

Facebook Logo
June 8, 2016 - 10:04 pm PDT The weather gods heard our prayers last night and rewarded us with cold clear skies this morning and views south towards Kahiltna Dome and Mount Foraker. Views to the Northeast revealed the first obstacle of our next leg, Motorcycle Hill, and further in the distance the Southern end of the West Buttress and the Upper Peters Glacier. Our team enjoyed a hearty breakfast of eggs, bacon and hash browns and with full stomachs we promptly went to work fortifying our camp by building snow walls around our tents, kitchen and most importantly building a bathroom fit for a Kings royal tush! The rest of the day was spent snacking, lounging and preparing for our carry tomorrow. For the rest of our ascent we will carry part of our gear and food higher on the mountain, in this case to somewhere between 13,600 - 14,000, and then return to our previous camp (11,000) This process not only helps reduce the weight needed to be carried between camps but will also allow the team to begin acclimatizing by climbing high and sleeping low where our bodies can better recover. We're now settled in for the night and the clouds have rolled back through camp and a light snow is falling. Everyone is doing great and were all excited to be trading sleds and snowshoes for crampons and an ice axe. From here on out we're climbing! RMI Guide Steve Gately & Team

Looking good guys. Weather looks like it’s been a bit challenging but you are up to the task. Keep up the good work. You are creating memories of a lifetime!

Keep up the good work !  Looks nice out but I think I would rather be on a snowmobile !!

Not sure if your bread crumbs are working - the tracker show 39 entries with the last one 3 days ago (June 5th)

Have a good climb !

Alaska Seminar: Davis & Team Train in a Crevasse

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Alaska Seminar

Elevation: 7,300'

Facebook Logo
Today the seminar team had a fine time learning and drilling crevasse rescue techniques. Colder today than the previous few, we bundled up and traveled a few minutes from camp to a nice staging area above a deep blue hole. The team first drilled pulling a snow-filled duffel out before practicing with a live load. Everyone got the opportunity to experience the inside of a crevasse as well as pulling a teammate out of one. Clouds are starting to build over Foraker as a southwest flow moves it's way into our area and by late morning, silence filled the arena that hummed with the activity of planes flying into Basecamp. Before dinner we rigged our sleds and packed some gear for our anticipated move from BC and up the Kahiltna glacier tomorrow. An early and quiet goodnight from the expedition skills seminar. RMI Guide Leon Davis

Aconcagua: Justman & Team Carry to Camp 1

Booted up and ready to go! So says Team Aconcagua. Actually, our boots are already off! We just returned to base camp after a successful, secret, covert operation aptly named, "Carry to Camp One". The team did great and how couldn't they? We were blessed with sunny skies and calm winds! An absolutely gorgeous day to acclimatize to 16,400 feet. We are now snacking on cucumber/tomato/avocado salad and sipping cokes, Tour de France style! Everyone here says hello to family and friends. Tomorrow we will take a well deserved rest day to maximize the recovery benefits of base camp before we are moving on up to the big leagues! RMI Guides JJ Justman and JM Gorum

Aconcagua: Nugent & Team Have Perfect Weather for Carry to Camp 1

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 13,800'

We enjoyed an amazingly perfect day on our first push above Aconcagua Basecamp. Despite the good weather our loads were big and the route up to Camp 1 was quite different than in years past. Lots of penitentes (tall, spiky snow features) made for difficult walking at times and a new route across the glacial remnant below the final scree slopes into camp. Despite these challenges our team remained true to form and moved extremely well ultimately putting in a big cache of gear, food, and fuel at over 16,000'. We are resting/acclimatizing tomorrow in basecamp before we head out on the upper mountain for good. All is well here in Plaza Argentina and the team is looking forward to the coming days. Talk tomorrow, RMI Guide Billy Nugent

The Mexico Volcanoes team led by RMI Guides Dustin Wittmier and Will Ambler arrived in Mexico City on Saturday. The team headed out of the city the following morning to La Malintzi resort, located at 10,000ft. They enjoyed a relaxing afternoon and began their acclimatization process.  Today the team stretched their legs and lungs on a hike to the summit of La Malinche, 14,636', it was cloudy and a bit cold.  They will return to the cabanas at the base of the mountain for a second night.  Tomorrow they will make their way to the base of Ixtaccihuatl.

Aconcagua: King & Team Rest Day at Camp 1

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 16,400'

Facebook Logo
The team is wrapping up a successful rest day here at Aconcagua Camp 1, 16,400'. The guides know it was successful because while we know the team was restless and at times lacking for entertainment, no one came over and told us so. Light winds in camp after a gusty night, which left several people sleepless until the calm and warmth of the early afternoon. We took the opportunity to send down trash and items carried up but deemed 'not necessary' for the climb with Mauricio, our Argentine guide. Tonight we will dine on mashed potatoes and cheese burritos while we discuss the weather report and the expedition itinerary. Right now there is a weather window 1/11-13 with light summit winds when compared to days previous. The team continues to stay strong with good appetites and getting sleep where they can!  The evenings have provided spectacular heat lightning across the Vacas Valley as clouds build and are held at bay. We might move up to Camp 2 tomorrow or burn a weather day depending on the wind. Regardless, thanks for following along and eat some fried chicken for us, preferably a Bojangles Cajun Fillet Chicken Biscuit with egg and cheese for those south of the Mason-Dixon Line. RMI Guide Mike King

Kilimanjaro: Hahn and Team Prepare for the Mountain

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Facebook Logo
Out here in Arusha today it was a little cloudy and sometimes rainy. So we didn't get the high "water tower" view of Kilimanjaro that the Dik Dik hotel is known for, although some of our team ventured about five stories up the steel structure just to check. We had the garden-like grounds of the hotel pretty much to ourselves as we discussed the Kilimanjaro climb and the steps that needed to be taken before departure. We went through gear and clothing and made a few key introductions of personnel from our excellent local staff. Then it was time for getting packed... figuring out what goes on the mountain and what stays at the Dik Dik. This important chore done, the team had ample time to nap, read and recover from endless airporting and frequent flying. We ended the day with some heavier rain showers and a sumptuous dinner. The team was trading laughs and stories as if they'd known each other for years. After about four courses and a couple of toasts, we started wandering off to send last emails and ultimately to hit the sack. Big day tomorrow, time to walk up a volcano. Best Regard, RMI Guide Dave Hahn & Team
