IMG Bolivia Team at sunset on the shores of Lake Titicaca (Justin Sackett).

IMG Guide Justin Sackett has checked in from Copacabana. He writes: “After spending a day exploring and acclimating in La Paz, the team is finishing up our acclimatization at Lake Titicaca- the highest navigable lake in the world at 12,500 feet. We’ve been lucky with beautiful sunsets and stable weather. Excited to head to Condoriri tomorrow to start climbing higher and higher.”

All’s well for the team, and we hope to hear more soon about their climbs!

All’s going well in Bolivia!

Mt Rainier 2023 registration is now open and we have several exciting new programs that we are introducing next summer.

The 4.5 Day Disappointment Cleaver Seminar is a great option for those who want to have an extra day to work on skills at Paradise and feel a bit less rushed than our 3.5 day DC Climb. After the skills day at Paradise, the team will ascend the mountain on the same itinerary as the 3.5 Day DC Climb but with extra time to either rest or cover more advanced skills at Camp Muir.

The Custom 3.5 Day Disappointment Cleaver Climb is the perfect option for large groups who want to climb together. This allows one group leader to purchase an entire climb and bring up to 7 friends (for a total of 8 climbers). Large groups who choose this option will be able to ensure that they will only be climbing with their group.

The IMG Mountain School is the perfect course to teach climbers mountaineering skills. The course spends one day on basic mountaineering skills such as cramponing, ice axe arrest, and rope travel, followed by two days of focused crevasse rescue training. This is the program for you if you want to learn the skills to climb glaciated peaks in a team of people with similar skills.

The Camp Muir Guided Hike is ideal for those looking to dip their toes and see if mountaineering is the sport for them. These hikes will take a full day to go to and from the iconic Camp Muir. There’s no better way to prepare for Mt Rainier than by spending a day on Mt Rainier with several IMG Guides.

Fresh snow at Base Camp (Phunuru Sherpa)

IMG Senior Guides Phunuru Sherpa and Max Bond checked in again this morning from Manaslu. The team is still at Base Camp waiting out the current storm cycle and is doing well. They are spending their time practicing with gear and resting in anticipation for their upcoming summit rotation when the weather clears up. All’s well for the Manaslu crew!
