December 26, 2015 Kilimanjaro: Big Christmas group on Kilimanjaro and a big success. Everyone – all 16 – summited Kilimanjaro on Christmas day. WOW! One of our customers is a great friend, and his entire family of 5 stood together on Uhuru. A Christmas day they’ll never forget. Everyone is down at Mweka Camp, in […]
December 24, 2015 Day 2 of the approach is history for the Aconcagua team. So far, so good. Mike reports lots of water in the rivers and snow up high but weather’s been nice on the approach. The team will reach base camp, Plaza Argentina, tomorrow, Christmas day. Pretty cool, actually. Our service providers in […]
December 23, 2015 Mike, Betsy, Leo and team began their 3-day approach to Aconcagua base camp today. Weather’s good and the team is anxious to get this show on the road. These first 3 days are actually quite valuable to the acclimatization process and for getting into the expedition mind set. Climbs of Aconcagua are […]
December 22, 2015 Mike, Betsy, Leo and team have wrapped up all the “pre-climb details” in Mendoza and sent us this great photo. Permits in hand, and with everyone’s luggage, they’re heading for Penitentes at the base of the mountain. Mule loads get sorted in Penitentes and the team takes advantage of one last hotel […]
July 20, 2015 Elbrus (Russia) Always exciting to have the team together and begin another adventure. IMG Senior Guide, Mike Hamill, is back in Russia with a super nice crew. Everyone got in on either the 18th or 19th , in good shape and with all their luggage. Everyone got together on the 19th for […]
February 26, 2015 We received a couple of photos from our ‘just completed’ Aconcagua crew and wanted to get them posted before we officially say good-bye to this Aconcagua season. Great team and great effort getting to the top after all the new snow. Well done, everyone!! Phil Ershler
February 25, 2015 Talked to Mike Hamill today but not on the sat phone. This time we used Skype from the team’s hotel in Mendoza! Mike, Ian, Leandro and all their Aconcagua crew are safe and back in Mendoza. They arrived late last evening after hiking out from Plaza Mulas and jumping into their private […]
February 23, 2015 Long, cold, hard day yesterday for Mike Hamill and his crew. But, it was a successful day. Mike and part of the crew were able to push through all the new snow and reach the summit. Super effort out of everyone. Reports are that winds today up high are in the 70 […]
February 21, 2015 We wanted to update everyone on two more trips this weekend. Most importantly is our team on Aconcagua, led by Mike Hamill. They pulled into high camp today. New snow has fallen but that’s ending and winds are forecasted to be at their lowest ebb tomorrow.  So, the team’s pumped to make […]
Feb 18, 2015 Luke Reilly’s crew is back in Mendoza and members will begin flying home today or tomorrow. This one’s a wrap. Safe, successful and enjoyable – those are our three favorite words to describe a good trip. Well done, gang. Mike Hamill’s crew is on their way to C2 today. They’re ready to […]
