September 29, 2014 As the summer turns to fall it gets harder and harder to get everybody together, so on Friday we rallied as many IMG guides, staff and partners as we could for the Mariners vs Angels game. 28 of us in total showed up to watch the Mariners defeat the Angels 4-3. […]
September 24, 2014 Well our team up at Camp Muir on Mt. Rainier didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. Why you ask? A look at the telemetry from the past 24 hours gives us a pretty good idea! Note that between 7pm and 1am the minimum (yes minimum) wind speed was 62mph, the […]
September 8, 2014 It’s official, our 2015 dates have been released and with just 8 climbers and 4 guides on each climb they fill up fast… not U2 or Beyonce tickets fast, but pretty fast. Let’s cut to the chase: Winter & Denali Prep Seminars: Literally a prerequisite for Denali. 4 experienced guides, 8 climbers, […]
August 29, 2014 We periodically have customers request to speak with some of our past clients about their experiences with us. International Mountain Guides’ customers are notoriously happy to tell others about their trips. We’re happy to provide references as much as possible.

August 27, 2014 It’s a pretty good day at work when you can drop what you’re doing, hop in a plane and fly around Mt. Rainier (and St. Helens), and still call it work. This is exactly what Greg Vernovage and I were able to do yesterday. A friend called up and offered up a […]
August 15, 2014 IMG Lead Guide Dustin Balderach snuck out some photos from the Ingraham Flats on Mt. Rainier this afternoon. Looks like the Glacier Skills Seminar is having a good climb despite the rain earlier in the week. Tye Chapman
August 7, 2014 When I first climbed Mt Rainier back in 1970, I was 15 years old. Since then I have done it every year, close to 300 times now. Last week I went to the top again, making it 45 years in a row, but this climb marked a different kind of milestone, as […]
July 22, 2014 Each year Washington’s National Park Fund (WNPF) partners up with Microsoft and IMG to do a fundraiser climb of Mt. Rainier. This year they’re doing two! The first climb wrapped up late last week and was a great success. The entire team climbed under the super moon and summited during a beautiful […]
July 15, 2014 For over 40 years now JanSport has had a presence on Mt. Rainier, and this year is no different! The annual JanSport climb is in full swing right now with one team over on the Emmons Route and the other on the DC route. Austin Shannon is at the helm of the […]
