Rainier Updates
July 8, 2010 We heard from several of our Rainier teams this morning: Andy called in from the summit with his Kautz team! We’d been shut down our previous two trips on the Kautz so this is excellent news! Andy also informed us that our Emmons team summitted this morning as well – he relayed […]
JanSport Goes 2 for 2
June 23, 2010 IMG Chief Guide and Partner George Dunn led our second JanSport team to the summit early this morning. It was cold and windy in the early morning hours on Mt. Rainier, but that wasn’t enough to stop them from tagging the top. So if you’re doing the math that make 16 summits […]
JanSport Emmons Team Summits!
June 22, 2010 IMG Guide John Race called in from the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning! They reached the top at roughly 8:00am this morning. Below are some pics…enjoy! The DC JanSport team reached The Flats this afternoon and are lieing down for a nap before their rude awakening at 10:30pm tonight for a […]
Rainier Climbers Resting For The Night
June 21, 2010 Our teams on Rainier are at their camps and getting as much rest as possible. Our Emmons Team made it to Camp Schurman (9500ft.) in good form this afternoon and after a rice noodle stir fry dinner they hit the hay pretty early to get some sleep before their alpine start tomorrow […]
JanSport Climbers On The Move

Click the map below to track their climb.
JanSport Climbers Having Fun
June 20, 2010 Just got word from our JanSport Team over on the Emmons… They’re all settled in at their first camp on the Inter Glacier (7800ft.). Not that they need more to celebrate, but it’s Anne’s (guide) birthday. Fellow guide John Race was kind enough to bring along a little cake to help celebrate […]
DC Team Summits, Kautz and Emmons Turned Around
June 17, 2010 Our Rainier teams reported in this morning… Phil and his team summitted on the DC, but the Kautz and Emmons teams turned around. Low visibility and tough navigation for the Emmons team and some unstable snow condition for our Kautz crew, but all are back at their camps safe and sound. They’ll […]
DC, Kautz and Emmons Teams On Rainier
June 15, 2010 Summit! Our Disappointment Cleaver (DC) team summitted quite early this morning due to cold conditions and the direct route up the Ingraham Glacier. After summitting around daybreak, they quickly made their way down to The Flats and into Camp Muir. After a nice break at Muir they cruised on down the snowfield […]
Rainier Team At ‘The Flats’
June 14, 2010 IMG Guide Greg Vernovage just radioed in from The Flats here on Mt. Rainier… All is well! A few teams summitted early today so it’s looking good for our guys in the morning. They’ll wake up nice and early and hit the route when it’s cold hoping to hit the summit around […]
