January 6, 2015 So, the crew had hoped to hop on the Grey II for the trip down Lago Grey yesterday. Best laid plans…. A big wind storm rolled in making the boat trip unsafe. Nice thing was that the wind was at their backs when they headed down the trail to the Refugio Paine […]
January 5, 2015 The holiday season is over so let’s catch up with all the comings and goings for IMG teams around the world.

December 31, 2014 Tye Chapman called in just now from the Refugio Cuernos in Patagonia. Easy 5 hours today on the trail and they’re enjoying the sun, the clear skies and views from the deck of the hut – all while drinking a beer, soda or glass of wine. Terrible way to spend New Year’s […]
December 30, 2014 Tye Chapman and team had their last dinner in Puerto Natales and then it was time to hit the trail. The walking started yesterday. They lightened their load when they reached Refugio Chileno and then continued up for their first spectacular views of Torres del Paine. Gore-tex was on and off during […]

February 20, 2014 Tye Chapman and his Patagonia crew are heading home today. Last night was their final dinner in Puerto Natales. Tye sent several photos from the trip and we’ve decided to post them all. Why would you NOT go to Patagonia with us next year? Phil Ershler

February 18, 2014 All’s good in South America. Tye Chapman and team have had sensational weather in Patagonia. A bit of drizzle as they pulled into Refugio Grey yesterday but no issue. Hoping to squeeze in a kayak trip on Grey Lake before they begin their journey home. All pretty much could not be better. […]
February 16, 2014 Tye Chapman and team had another sensational weather day in Patagonia. They went high into the Bader Valley, a much less frequently traveled area off the classic ‘W’ trek in Patagonia. Almost no wind and very warm weather. Simply spectacular day. Today, they head up the French Valley, on their way to […]
