February 23, 2012 It’s that time of year again – time to talk Rainier! Join IMG Guides at local REI’s to glean some good information on what you need to know to climb the Northwest Icon. Training tips, route information, gear and more. 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 […]
December 7, 2011 Hi IMG, I’m not sure where to send this – I just wanted to pass along kudos to Mike Hamill & the IMG Shishapangma Team. I was on Shish at the same time as they were this season – there were some challenging people, expeditions, and conditions this year. Mike was safe, […]
November 28, 2011 Once again, as is customary this time of year, IMG Operations Manager Tye Chapman is globetrotting hither and yon. Here’s an update he sent this morning: “Hello from Chiang Mai, Thailand! Just over a week into our trip, and we’re having a blast. After a couple days in busy Bangkok we enjoyed […]
October 5, 2011 Snow is falling at Paradise on Mt. Rainier bringing another summer to a screeching halt. It never fails, the summer flies by before we even know it started… climbers come and go and guides pack, climb, unpack & repeat. Before we know it climbers and guides alike are all gone, back to […]
September 27, 2011 On behalf of IMG, and as a friend of the Himalayas, we want to let you know about a very special and worthwhile event dedicated to making small miracles happen: the American Himalayan Foundation’s Annual Dinner, Oct 26, 2011. To Everest!  In attendance will be an impressive summit party (in both senses!) […]
