Kilimanjaro: Hahn & Team All Present in Tanzania

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Facebook Logo
We've gotten eleven climbers -and their gear- through an assortment of aircraft and airports to the outskirts of Arusha, Tanzania. What with ample jet lag, it can't be declared with certainty that all are now sleeping at the Arumeru River Lodge, but all are now in residence (at 4 AM). In a few hours, we'll wake up to begin a Kilimanjaro adventure. It will begin with coffee and a velvet monkey or two out in the garden-like patio of the lodge. We'll eat breakfast (if the monkeys don't) and meet finally as one big team to figure out the start of our week-long climb to the highest point in Africa. Best Regards, RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Ecuador: Grom & Team Prepare for Cayambe Climb

Elevation: 15,300'

Hey everybody, this is Casey Grom checking in from the Ecuador's Volcanoes trip to let you know that we had another nice day down here on the equator. We woke up this morning at about 6 and had a quick breakfast and then tried to get out the door as close to 7 as we could. We hiked for about an hour and a half up to where the start of the glacier is here on Cayambe and took a nice break. We spent the next couple hours reviewing some basic climbing techniques and trying to do a few advanced things and just getting ourselves prepared for tonight's climb. The team is doing great, we just wrapped up dinner not too long ago. We packed our backpacks and everybody's off bed. If all goes well our plan is to wake up at about 11 p.m. and have another hot breakfast and hopefully be headed up hill about midnight. Currently it's been pretty icy down here it's been pretty dry and they haven't had a lot of snow so I think the route might be a little more circuitous than normal. I am anticipating about a 7 hour ascent so if we are fortunate we might be able to reach the summit around 7 a.m. Then we will take a handful of photos and then we'll make our way back down. Regardless of how our climb goes tomorrow, our plan is to pack up and get out of here and head down to another hacienda so we will check in sometime tomorrow mid day and let everybody know how we're doing. All right you guys. Thanks, RMI Guide Casey Grom

Mt. McKinley Expedition: Wittmier & Team Check In from 14,000 ft Camp

Coming in live from 14,000' Camp! The vibes and morale are high and acting as fuel to carry us for the past few days and the upcoming days to come.

A few days ago we made the push from 11,000' Camp, which was a hard yet rewarding day. Up until that point we had continuous snowfall. But as we made our way to 14,000' Camp the sun and surrounding peaks decided to say hello. It’s unbelievably beautiful out here. Snowcapped mountains as far as the eye can see. The tough journey so far has made the surroundings pronounced with that much more awe.

Today we woke up and the weather healed so we carried supplies and food near 17,000' Camp and safely made it back down to 14,000'. Now it’s a waiting game. And honestly in the hands of the mountain at this point to get a good weather window for the summit. But honestly, We are all happy and content with the effort and the expierence we’ve put in so far. Dustin, Lacy and Will are all legends and we are lucky to be out here with them.

Big love to all those supporting us and we can't wait to tell you more once we are closer to sea level ;)

Aconcagua: Gorum & Team Rest Day at Camp 1

Merry Christmas from all of the team members here at Aconcagua Camp 1! There's not too much to report today. The team did an excellent job resting (they're pros), and everyone is more than ready to move uphill tomorrow. It was a beautiful day in camp, with a deep, dark blue sky that some attributed to our altitude, and therefore our proximity to outer space. I don't buy it, but we'll do our best to test that hypothesis tomorrow, as we move even higher. To Camp Two we go. RMI Guide JM Gorum

Aconcagua: King & Team Rest Day at Camp 1

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Aconcagua

Elevation: 16,400'

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.

Denali Expedition: Upper West Rib Team Hits the Glacier

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 7600'

Facebook Logo
June 4, 2016 - 11:46 a.m. PDT The team played a lot of hurry up and wait most of the day in Talkeetna. We put the final touches on packing, weighed in for the flight, and waited for a weather window to get into the Alaska Range. Our window opened right around 5 PM and we snuck into Kahiltna BC just before it socked in again. Once on the glacier we spent a few hours rigging for rope travel and re-packing before we hit the dusty trail. Everyone did a fantastic job and just before 1 AM we set up camp at 7,600' on the Kahiltna That's it for now. We're all really excited to be here. Thanks for following along, RMI Guide Geoff Schellens and The UWR team

Ecuador Volcanoes: Grom & Team’s Decision on Next Climbing Objective

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Ecuador

Facebook Logo
The team is well rested after our long climb on Cayambe. It took us about eight hours to reach the summit and another four to safely descend all the way back to the hut. Everyone was very happy, but also very tired from such a long day. After descending from the mountain we had a wonderful lunch before arriving at Hacienda Guachala, the oldest hacienda in Ecuador, which dates back to 1580. Everyone slept very well and enjoyed the hot showers to say the least. Today we had a nice big breakfast and had a team meeting to discuss the upcoming climb on Chimborazo. Currently the climbing conditions here in Ecuador are less than ideal on several mountains including Chimbo. The local guides and I discussed the difficulty and hazardous conditions that awaited us there and decided it's a little more than we are willing to risk. The team was a little disappointed we weren't going to climb to 20,000+ft, but everyone agreed it might be best to choose a safer option. Our new plan is to climb another mountain that hasn't been affected by the unusually dry weather, yet still gives us a challenging ascent. We have relocated to a quaint little place in the countryside not too far from our next climb Rumiñahui. It's not the big mountain we were hoping for, but I'm certain we will all enjoy the climb. We'll spend the day doing some training here tomorrow and getting prepared for our next adventure. RMI Guide Casey Grom and crew
