Mt. Rainier: Four Day Climb Reached Ingraham Flats

The Four Day Climb led by RMI Guides Brent Okita and Bryan Mazaika reached 11,200' on Mt. Rainier today. New snow from the last few days and high avalanche danger kept the team from going any higher on the mountain. The team is back at Camp Muir and will start the descent to Paradise shortly. Congratulations to today's team!

Mt. Rainier: Expedition Skills Seminar - Muir had a Successful Week of Training

The Expedition Skills Seminar - Muir Team along with RMI Guides Adam Knoff and Walter Hailes had a successful week of training on Mt. Rainier. The team spent the week learning crevasse rescue, setting snow and ice anchors, route finding, avalance training, and many other alpine climbing techniques. The team was able to take several walks above Camp Muir, but the winter like weather kept the from the summit. The team is on the descent and will be back at Ashford Basecamp in the early afternoon today. Congratulations to today's team!

Denali Expedition: Walter & Team Climb Ski Hill

The weather seems to have changed its tune as of late and is cooperating with us nicely. Today was mostly cloudy with an occasion light snow shower and a light breeze. It was perfect for climbing up Ski Hill and continuing up the Kahiltna to 10,000' where we made a cache of food and fuel and gear. The glacier is in excellent condition and the traveling was smooth. Our team all did well today and we're now in position to move camp to 11,200', hopefully tomorrow. We'll let you know what shakes out, RMI Guide Mike Walter

Denali Expedition: Walter & Team Get Oh-so-Close, Return to Talkeetna

Sunday, May 12, 2019 Well, it was another day of waiting in Talkeetna for the weather to improve enough to fly into Kahiltna Base Camp. The FAA webcams looked socked in all day, but every once in a while some clearings would emerge. Finally, around 3 pm, we decided to round up the troops and don our climbing clothes and boots to be ready to board if a flight was possible. After a recon report from another K2 airplane on a scenic flight confirmed that it looked like we could land at Base Camp, we boarded the two Turbo Prop Otters and launched for the Alaska Range. A beautiful flight with partly cloudy skies took us all the way to Base Camp …but a small but thick cloud hung over the landing strip. We held in a waiting pattern for as long as we could and the conditions did not improve. Finally we regained our elevation and pointed back south for Talkeetna. An awesome flight, and oh-so-close. We’ll try again early tomorrow, with a more promising forecast. RMI Guide Mike Walter

This was a great experience for me and my two boys, that we will never forget. Our team of climbers was made up of a great mix of people who all came together to get to the top. I’m proud have climbed with you guys and you’ve inspired me to be better.

On the guides; A thing I learned very early in my Marine Corps career was how to spot professionalism and raw, unfiltered competence. This is especially important when serving in a combat zone. You learn quick to spot people who know what the hell they are talking about because lives and mission rest on it. From the very first meeting it was very obvious to me that Rob, Josh and Chad had this talent in abundance and it became even more evident on the mountain. Thanks guys, you humbled this old Jarhead (not easy, lol), with your knowledge, physical ability and spot on climbing guidance.

I hope we get to climb together again soon

PS: Tell Josh I’m working on my walking skills and hope to cut my future descent trip/falling to less than 10 per mile. ;).

Mt. Rainier: Hahn & Knoff on Top!

The Mt. Rainier Five Day Summit Climb stood on the summit earlier this morning. The teams, led by RMI Guides Dave Hahn and Adam Knoff, experienced a bluebird day with what seems to be endless views from the highest point in Washington. Both teams began their descent around 8:20 am PT. We look forward to congratulating them back at Rainier Basecamp this afternoon.

Congrats to all on a successful summit! Each trip report I read deepens my desire to attempt the summit myself. Someday.

Mt. Rainier: Okita & Mazaika Take Their Teams to Ingraham Flats for Acclimatization

Our hike up to Camp Muir yesterday was beautiful. The nicest day of the season! This morning we climbed the first 1,000' of the route to Ingraham Flats as part of our acclimatization for the climb. Reports from other guides suggest our route is the nicest, most direct route we could ask for. We're all excited! We'll have a meeting to go over preparations for the climb tonight then get to bed before our pre-dawn departure. Wish us well. RMI Guides Brent Okita, Bryan Mazaika and the crew at Muir
