May 6, 2012 Ama Dablam leader Liam O’OSullivan reports that the team headed down to Pangboche after their climb of Lobuche Peak. Then, they ascended up to Ama Dablam Base Camp where they are now established. Now they are all together with their sherpas Ang Chirring (Kami), Ang Sona, Kalden Phura, and cooks Jor […]
April 11, 2012 For the past seven years, my wife, Sue, and I have been supporting the American Himalayan Foundation’s Stop Girl Trafficking program. IMG has been working in Nepal for a couple of decades now and cares deeply about the people there. Trafficking is a huge problem.  Every year, as many as 20,000 girls […]
March 16, 2012 Yesterday, the Denali Seminar pulled out of Mt. Rainier National Park a day early thanks to a snow plow escort provided by the park. With more snow in the forecast, taking advantage of an escape route when it was presented just made sense. After drying out, they enjoyed a nice burger at […]
March 6, 2012 This image came across my desk a couple weeks ago and I couldn’t help but chuckle as I thought of all the women on our guide staff. Tough ladies who know how to sew… and by sew I mean repairing tents in the field, fixing tears in backpacks and stitching up the […]

Below are the dates and locations – See you there! Date Time […]
January 6, 2012 Got the call on the evening of the 5th from Greg saying they were back at high camp after a successful summit climb. 100% on top. Not the best day we’ve ever seen in Antarctica but good enough. And, good enough is just fine. Summit day on Vinson is always long and […]
December 23, 2011 After arriving in Moshi with all their gear (always a good way to start an expedition) the IMG December Kili team has now started up the mountain. Today they traveled by jeeps to the Machame trailhead (about 5900 ft), where they met their Chagga porter crew. Today the climb is in the […]
December 22, 2011 Last Thursday, in honor of Ang Jangbu being in the USA, we made some calls and invited a few folks over for a slice of pizza and a beer. The result: a room filled with friends, family, loved ones as well as 11 IMG Guides representing 18 Everest summits. Pretty cool stuff! […]
December 21, 2011 The years come and go so quickly anymore that we rarely get a chance to sit back and reflect on our past. And now, here we are with 25 years of it! When we look back on the first days of IMG, we’re quick to notice that for the most part the […]
December 20, 2011 Last Friday we did our best (sorry you couldn’t make it Becky & Clarissa) to close the doors for our annual Christmas Party. This year, instead of the typical egg nog, cookies and white elephant gifts, we opted to head over the Crystal Mountain for a company ski day. Did I mention […]
