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 […]
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 […]
June 21, 2010 Our JanSport climbers are on the move on Mt. Rainier and thanks to the nice guys over at Spot Adventures, who gave us several SPOT Satellite GPS Messengers for our climbers, you can now follow their progress as they climb the two different routes. Click the map below to track their climb.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
June 13, 2010 One of our annual Washington National Parks Fund (WNPF) climbs wrapped things up this afternoon after their 3-day climb on Mt. Rainier. They didn’t summit, but the $40,000 these Microsoft employees raised will still go to a great cause. It was obvious that these guys did their physical homework and were well […]
June 12, 2010 Just spoke with IMG Partner Phil Ershler who called in from The Flats on Mt. Rainier today – they took advantage of the sunny weather today and put in our camp at The Flats. A big thank you to AAI who also put in a good bit of work this morning putting […]
