8/6/2016 Andy just checked in with a very strong looking Sajama team. The team is all in La Paz for one more night after dodging and weaving a couple flight delays. All is well and gear is in hand. It was a beautiful day in La Paz for the City Tour and a great […]
We received word overnight from IMG Senior Guide, Phunuru Sherpa, that the team has summited and are all now safely back down at Mweka Camp at around 10,000 ft. What a day the team had! The weather continued to be perfect and the team was all smiles from the top. They will sleep great tonight […]
August 4, 2016 Our Kili team has been doing great the past several days. Everyone is feeling fine and the weather has been nice. Can’t ask for much more than that. Oh, and did we mention the views? Those aren’t bad either! Overnight (for us) the team climbed from Barranco Camp (~13,000 ft) up […]
Calls from Kilimanjaro teams out on safari are always about the same. “Wow. Seeing everything. Glad we got to fly out to the Serengeti. Camps are cool. Glad we did the climb firstâ€. Word from Charlotte and her last team is no different. Some members are even signing up for a sunrise balloon ride over […]
July 24, 2016 Just off the phone with Andy from Pequeno Alpamayo Base Camp. The Team went out to the tongue of the glacier to train for their climb of Pequeno Alpamayo. Conditions on the mountain are a little dryer this year but Andy reported that it was going to be a good climb. The […]
July 23, 2016 It was a nice day in Bolivia and the Team took advantage of it and got a nice acclimatization hike in. They climbed to just over 17,000’ and got a few great views. It is endless in the Cordillera Real. Back at Base Camp after the hike, the Team rigged harnesses and […]
July 23, 2016 Talked to Mike Hamill this morning at high camp on Elbrus. Acclimatization is done and team is ready to take a shot at the summit. Big day coming up tomorrow. They’re facing a few thousand vertical feet of continuous cramponing. Forecast is suggesting they’ll have a chance tomorrow. “When the fish are […]
July 23, 2016 All’s good at Karanga Camp. Charlotte called this morning to say that everyone made it to camp without issue, had a nice, long rest this afternoon and is ready to head to high camp in the morning. Karanga’s at around 13,500’ and the team will have a fairly short day tomorrow. That’s […]
July 12, 2016 It’s not every day that we get last-minute cancellations on Rainier trips, as spots usually sell out quickly and trips stay solidly booked throughout the season. Our next Emmons Glacier trip, however, from July 17 to July 21, has four open spaces for anyone interested. Although the Emmons route is more physically demanding than […]
June 27, 2016 Charlotte checked in from the summit and then again from Mweka Camp this morning. “Gorgeous climb, no wind, we arrived at Stella Point just as the sun was rising.â€Â The team went on the Uhuru Peak (19,340’). They are now back down to Mweka Camp and can take a nice deep breath […]
