September 4, 2020 Like most guides, IMG Guide Jonathan Schrock bounces around quite a bit. This week he was on Mt. Rainier for a couple climbs (and a couple of summits) and snapped a few beautiful photos too good not to share. He’s since departed for Bend, OR, but will be back for a […]

August 13, 2020 If you’ve climbed with IMG, or with any other guide service for that matter, you’ll agree that guides work hard, very hard.
