January 29th, 2018 We’ve had a week to catch our breath and now it’s time to get back to talking about how IMG trips are going in the Southern Hemisphere and Mexico. This will be our final Mexico trip for the season. IMG Senior Guide, Charlotte Austin, is at the helm of this final […]
November 20, 2017 Time to catch up on news down south. Dallas Glass is home and so is the team. Success on Orizaba wasn’t easy but Dallas and team did great. Icier than expected, the climb (and descent) demanding time, strength and skill. The guides and our climbers delivered. Result was a safe, successful and […]
November 17th, 2017 Nice sat phone call early this morning from Mexico — Dallas Glass called from the summit of Orizaba to let me know that all was well at the top of Mexico. Not a lot of folks recognize that Orizaba is actually the third highest peak in North America, topped only by […]
November 16th, 2017 Time and recuperate is the order of the day for both our teams – in Ecuador and in Mexico. Our Mexico crew had a hotel night in the city of Puebla and traveled today to the village of Tlachichuca. After a nice lunch prepared by the Reyes family, they headed in […]
November 15th, 2017 Good news from both IMG expeditions in South America but only one photo, so far. Luke, Romulo and their Ecuador team reported “a little bit of everything†from a weather standpoint this morning but no matter —- they stood on top of Cayambe and headed already for the hot springs in […]
November 13, 2017 IMG Senior Guide, Dallas Glass and team are off to a good start down in sunny Mexico. Had a brief ‘scare’ with one of our members missing both duffels but a little patience and persistence and all was resolved, albeit at 3:00 in the morning. Resolved is in the key word. […]
March 3, 2017 100% is a nice number. Josh just called in from Mexico. Very nice climb this morning on Pico de Orizaba with all members and guides on the summit. Team was strong, climbing conditions were good and the weather cooperated. Team is already back at the hut and packed up. They’re loading the […]
March 2, 2017 Orizaba is on the calendar for Josh and team early tomorrow morning. He just called in from the Piedra Grande hut on Orizaba. Weather remains favorable and everyone’s ready to make their summit bid. It’ll be an early wake up. We’ll let you know when we know. All should go well. Phil […]
March 1, 2017 Senior guide Josh McDowell checked in this afternoon with good news from Mexico. Here’s the latest from south of the border: Hey Phil, We are down in Puebla after an amazing summit of Ixta this morning!  We had clear views all the way to Orizaba, with almost no wind.  It was […]
February 28, 2017 We talked to Josh yesterday after their carry to high camp on Ixta. Pretty much perfect weather and the team performed well. We all need a certain amount of time to acclimate before going too high, especially before sleeping too high, and a carry up to their high camp fits the bill […]
