Emmons and DC Climbs Sell Out in Record Time

December 29, 2016

Wow! We’ve had a great end to 2016 here at IMG with all of our Rainier Emmons and Disappointment Cleaver (DC) climbs sold out at the start of the New Year. We would like to thank all of our future climbers for choosing IMG and look forward to a fantastic summer in 2017.

Still looking to climb Rainier, but not signed up yet? There are still options available. We have a few openings on our August 19-25 Glacier Skills Seminar. This 6.5 day climb focuses on building key mountaineering skills for 4 days before taking off for a full on summit attempt.

If you’ve got a bit of mountaineering experience and are comfortable on steep snow and a bit of ice, our Kautz climbs have openings throughout the summer. This is an amazing intermediate route, and a guide favorite.

Our Little Tahoma Seminar, July 2-7, is also looking for climbers. While not on Mt. Rainier proper, Little Tahoma provides a true mountaineering challenge involving both glacier travel and a significant rock scramble on summit day, all with breathtaking views of Rainier and the surrounding area.

For those winter warriors out there, check out the Denali Seminars. This program is focused on skills training, teaching the critical techniques necessary to climb in the greater ranges. Learning proper camp set up and maintenance, introduction to avalanche assessment, navigation and sled hauling make this a ‘must do’ seminar  for the aspiring mountaineer.

Finally, if your schedule is flexible and you’re able to jump on some last minute openings we recommend joining our waitlist. Just send an email to office@mountainguides.com with your name, email, phone number, and the dates you would like to be alerted about.

We are getting excited for a fantastic 2017 season on Rainier and hope you are too!!!
