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 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.
