March 18, 2013 George Dunn, descending with the first Whitney trip after summiting on March 16, passed trip #2 led by Kurt Wedberg yesterday. The team all looked very fit and were heading up to their high camp at about 11,800’ on a beautiful day. Kurt’s team is summiting today, and will report down to […]
March 16, 2013 Geo called in, after returning from High Camp, this afternoon to report another successful climb on Mt. Whitney. It was a cold and windy morning for sure – but it beats the heck out of a day in the office! They’re all safe and sound at High Camp enjoying a nap and […]
March 15, 2012 IMG Partner George Dunn checked in last night around 7pm (PST) from Camp 1 (10,000ft.) near Lower Boy Scout Lake on Mt. Whitney. The guys put in a good hard day. post-holing at times up the steep terrain, and were rewarded with a nice ‘balmy’ evening in camp. Today they’ll pack up […]
April 9, 2012 The weather remained periodically windy and cooler than normal in the Eastern Sierra this spring. Our record of success started to grow with the fourth and fifth Whitney climbs both racking up 100% successes. Then we just got word from the sixth and final Whitney team whose summit day was today. It […]
April 1, 2012 George checked in after a rough climb of Mt. Whitney this weekend with a report of increasingly high winds (60mph) and cold weather which turned the team around just below the notch (14,000ft) on summit day. And upon arrival back at camp, things didn’t get much better – the winds picked up […]
March 30, 2012 Or in this case two words, “Almost There”, because that’s all we got out of George this afternoon. It’s either ‘stoic mountain guide talk’ or George not wanting to type on his phone (my guess is the latter) but hey we’ll take it. From the looks of it they’re closing in on […]
March 30, 2012 In classic George Dunn fashion we got an “all is s well” message after Day 1 of George’s current climb on Whitney, and not another word. However, I’ll give George a ton of credit for snapping this photo in the morning and attaching it to his, albeit brief, text message last night. […]
March 29, 2012 Our Mt Whitney trip got off to a great start as all nine folks were super strong heading up to Upper Boy Scout Lake (Camp 1). Unfortunately, the weather turned for the worse as winds picked up throughout the night and a low pressure system settled in. With that in mind, we […]
March 24, 2012 George called in this afternoon with some good news! Despite the wind and unseasonably cold temps, most of the team made the summit. “An absolutely incredible effort by everybody today!.” said George after all had returned to High Camp. It’s all downhill tomorrow. If all goes as planned they’ll have a hot […]
March 23, 2012 George called in from a chilly and breezy High Camp on Mt. Whitney just after 2pm today. The team made good time up to camp as it took only three hours of walking. George said that the team is strong and everyone is doing well. They will do some training for the […]
