June 30, 2010 You asked for it… so here it is! The Buff is one of the most functional pieces of clothing on any gear list. If you’re facing some windy conditions on “The Top of the Cleaver”, some harsh sun at the South Col or some dusty conditions on Aconcagua the Buff sure […]
June 29, 2010 IMG partner Phil Ershler called down on the sat phone from 14,000 to say that everything was going well for our team on Denali. Tomorrow they are planning to do a carry up to 17,000 feet.  We have a couple other IMG guides, Eben Reckord and Greg Vernovage, also on the mountain […]
June 23, 2010 IMG Chief Guide and Partner George Dunn led our second JanSport team to the summit early this morning. It was cold and windy in the early morning hours on Mt. Rainier, but that wasn’t enough to stop them from tagging the top. So if you’re doing the math that make 16 summits […]

June 21, 2010 Our teams on Rainier are at their camps and getting as much rest as possible. Our Emmons Team made it to Camp Schurman (9500ft.) in good form this afternoon and after a rice noodle stir fry dinner they hit the hay pretty early to get some sleep before their alpine start tomorrow […]

June 20, 2010 Just got word from our JanSport Team over on the Emmons… They’re all settled in at their first camp on the Inter Glacier (7800ft.). Not that they need more to celebrate, but it’s Anne’s (guide) birthday. Fellow guide John Race was kind enough to bring along a little cake to help celebrate […]
June 20, 2010 Yesterday the Kili crew had a good day hiking from Barancco to Karanga, beneath the glaciers that spill down the south side of Kilimanjaro. This is one of our all time favorite days high altitude hiking, as the trail traverses the slopes of Kili. The team reached Karanga camp (about 13,000’) just […]
