January 25, 2018 While the 2018 Everest Expedition hasn’t officially began, we’re happy to report that we’ve already had some strong interest in our 2019 Everest Programs! The dates are set, but it looks like prices will be going up for the Spring 2019 Everest programs (Everest, Lhotse, Lobuche, EBCÂ Treks). There’s just no way around […]
January 5, 2018 Well, Luke checked in today reporting that he and the team had a great day today. They spent the morning at the viewpoint just soaking things in as best they could. After lunch they headed out on a zodiac boat to Islatak. Islatak is a nunatak, which is an island/rock ridge/peak that […]
October 26, 2017 The 3X3/2X2 Team checked in from Lobuche Village today to let us know that the weather was perfect for the trek over Khongma La (18,320ft). This high altitude pass is a big test for the Team. Everyone did very well after the rest day in Chukkung. The views are incredible on this […]
September 27, 2017 Dustin checked in from Machame Camp on Kilimanjaro today with good news. He and his team had a beautiful hike through the forest today. He said the weather was perfect and bird were singing quite a bit today which the team enjoyed. They’re at 10,000ft now, so it’s the teams first real […]
July 25, 2017 The hard work is done for our Elbrus team and they’re now enjoying their last bit of time in the Baksan Valley. They headed out this morning to ride up the lifts at the ski area of Cheget. A little too much in the way of cloud cover to get good […]

Sunday, 23 July Yesterday was preparing for game day. Team is ready to take a shot at the top this morning. Weather has been reasonable and we hope that continues. It’s Elbrus, so we’ll see. Two contingency days are built into the itinerary so the team has more than one shot. Let’s hope one is […]
July 7, 2017 The dust hasn’t quite settled on the 2017 Everest Expedition.  Ang Jangbu reports that the weather in the Khumbu recently improved enough to retrieve the remaining gear which we needed to bring back to Kathmandu. The gear went by helicopter from Shyangboche down to Phaplu, and from there was driven by truck […]
June 30, 2017 IMG senior guide, Craig John, just called in on the sat phone from Barranco Camp on Kili. All team members are doing great and they had a fun hike today. They were relaxing after the long day and were just about to sit down for dinner. They started at Shira Camp […]
June 23, 2017 It’s been said that mountaineering is a great excuse for traveling. After 48 years of doing both, one of my favorite things to do remains going to a new place and climbing a mountain with some good friends! The highest peak in the Arctic is Mt. Gunnbjørn (12,119ft.) in Greenland and this […]
