First Vinson Team of the Season!
Right on schedule and just in time for Thanksgiving, our first Vinson team of the season is on their way to the Ice. Led by IMG Senior Guide, Mike Hamill, the team was up early, to the airport and are ‘winging their way’ to 80 degrees S. latitude, to a spot called the Union Glacier. Looks like turkey dinner will be in Antarctica. Is that fairly amazing, or what? Mike is working with IMG Senior Guide, Josh McDowell, and just a super group of climbers. We know the entire team from past climbs and are quite pleased to have them all with us again.
Next stop will be Vinson base camp, but they need to stay at the Union Glacier long enough to have that turkey. I think we’re off to a good start for what will be a very busy season for IMG on Vinson Massif.
Happy Thanksgiving to the crew heading for the Ice and to all our friends.
