November 9, 2021 IMG Senior Guides Kim Sieradzki and Romulo Cardenas gave a quick call from the Refugio on Cayambe this morning to let us know the team is doing great and is heading out to do some training on the lower glacier of Cayambe. “Everyone is feeling strong and ready to climb tonight.” It […]
November 8, 2021 IMG Senior Guides Kim Sieradzki and Romulo Cardenas sent a message this morning to let us know that their acclimatization hike of Imbabura (15,109′) went great with everyone reaching the summit yesterday. After the acclimatization hike the team made their way to the Hacienda Guachala for the night. Here the team prepared […]
November 6, 2021 We just heard from the Team in Ecuador. It was another great day touring and acclimatizing for the team and I think I will let the photos and summary from one of our teammates do all the talking! “After an early morning stroll through the Otavalo Market, said to be one of […]
November 5, 2021 We received word from IMG Guide Kim Sieradzki this morning that all members of the team have arrived with their luggage. That is a great start! After meeting everyone and doing some gear checks, the team headed out for some touring of Old Town Quito. Our tour guide along with long time […]

January 22, 2020 Jay and Romulo called in from Ecuador a bit ago. Close but no cigar was the message. Guys worked HARD but the summit was not to be. Chimborazo is a big, physically demanding mountain. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. Good news – everyone’s down and with 10 fingers and […]
January 19, 2020 Jay called me last evening after the team’s attempt on Cotopaxi. No summit. Weather wasn’t good when they woke up, so they delayed departure for a bit. Still wasn’t great, but they finally decided to take a shot. 17,500’, more or less, and they were just too wet with no real hope […]
January 16, 2020 Congrats to Jay, Romulo, and the team for a successful summit of (18,996′) Cayambe! Next up: hot springs and a hotel before driving to Hacienda El Porvenir at the base of Cotopaxi. Nice work so far! The Ecuador volcanoes are an excellent follow up to Rainier and a fantastic way to prepare […]
January 15, 2020 Update time from the Southern Hemisphere, as everyone is in position to make some significant movement today.
