January 5, 2015 The holiday season is over so let’s catch up with all the comings and goings for IMG teams around the world.

December 30, 2014 Rest day at C1 for Peter’s team on Aconcagua. Winds picking up but not too bad. Hoping to squeeze in that C2 carry tomorrow. An acclimatization day at C1 never hurts.

December 24, 2015 The team is packed and ready to start walking. First day of the approach is today. They’ll need 3 days to get to base camp. Nice part is that we use mules to carry all the group gear for these first 3 days. Weather is perfect for the first day on the […]

April 8, 2014 Did you happen to notice a couple of weeks ago that dates have been set for Aconcagua 2014/15 departures? That means that now is the time to consider carefully your Aconcagua plans for next season. As everyone knows, Aconcagua isn’t a technical mountain but it is a very physical mountain. Spring, summer […]
February 22, 2014 The guides and the last of the team members are on flights home now and all will arrive home on Sunday. Always nice to wrap up another Aconcagua season. Guides Mike Hamill, Peter Dale and Leandro Villegas did a great job as so did each of the team members. When everyone can […]
