January 5, 2014 Good day at the bottom of the world. A little cold and a little breezy was the report from Greg and Aaron as they were standing on the summit of Vinson Massif with their entire group. 100% on top. Always great to hear. Phil Ershler
January 4, 2014 Greg, Aaron and team are at high camp on Vinson Massif. They made the move today from Camp 1 and are now melting ice like crazy, rehydrating, eating and prepping for a possible summit attempt in the morning. They’ll wait until the sun has begun to warm up high camp before setting […]
January 1, 2014 Happy New Year to friends and family from IMG teams on 3 continents. Max checked in on his way to the airport. Kili’s a wrap. 100% on the summit and great animal viewing in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Pretty hard not to have fun on a Kilimanjaro trip. Josh and team […]

Max Bunce and crew are […]
January 15, 2013 This much is true: we had a fantastic day on top of Antarctica! It was unusually warm the night before we took off for the summit and I awoke to another unusual phenomenon at High Camp on Vinson – not a cloud in the sky and zero wind. This was an easy […]
January 12, 2013 Here’s a quick update on what’s going on in South America… On Aconcagua, Ty Gimenez and his team tagged the top this morning! The weather held nicely and it didn’t snow until they had already rolled back into camp. Â 7 of 8 made the top, and an excellent effort by all. They’ll […]
January 11, 2013 We got word from Greg this morning that the IL-76 had landed and they were about to board. They are officially en route home. Tye Chapman
