February 15, 2019 Charlotte and her team were in El Chalten last night, Johnny and crew in Calafate. Today they’ll do a flip flop and pass on the highway to give each other high fives. Charlotte’s team woke up on a beautiful bay yesterday and walked the 12 miles back into El Chalten. This was […]
February 13, 2019 The power is back on here at IMG HQ in Ashford and after four days of non-stop precipitation, we saw a little bit of blue sky today! We are working hard to clear the walkways and our inboxes and ought to have all of that accomplished just in time for our Denali […]
February 11, 2019 Although I had a great weekend of skiing with all the fresh snow in the PNW, I’m still a little jealous of our two trekking teams down in Patagonia. The great photos just keep rolling in and there are a lot of smiles. Jonathan and his crew made a trip up into […]

October 10, 2018 IMG Partner Eric Simonson was able to get a few photos out from Zoksham Camp (13,000’) last night. Along with the photos, Eric wanted to let us know the team is doing well and the weather is good. They had a light snow just after arriving to camp, but it stopped just […]
October 10, 2018 Have you ever wondered what guides do when they’re not guiding? Well, they work on becoming better guides! This past weekend, IMG guides spent two days in Leavenworth, WA refining their rope skills, knots, and hitches used on Rainier and peaks around the world. The world-class training was led by Senior Guides […]
September 20, 2018 The Rainier season is still underway with a solid route to the top and beautiful views of snow dusted Adams and Hood from camp. Teams are taking advantage of the lighter crowds and recent snowfall to squeeze every drop out of September. It’s not over ’til it’s over! George Dunn
