Mt. Rainier: Kautz, Emmons and DC Summits!

July 2, 2009

The summit season continues here at IMG!

Lead Guide Justin Merle arrived here at HQ after having 100% of his team on top yesterday on the Kautz. The Ice Chute is in good shape and the team rolled back into camp at just over 13 hours on summit day – nice work everybody! Some nice pictures are in bound by the crew.

IMG Guide Ben Kurdt called via Sat Phone from the summit this morning with 100% on top at roughly 9am on via the Emmons. They’re pulled back into Camp Schurman this afternoon and are either asleep or telling stories of their day – either way they’re all happy!

And our DC climb should be here at HQ here soon after summiting this morning as well. They were on top before the Emmons crew so no high-fives there but they made the top and will enjoy a burger and a well deserved beer tonight!

Busy days continue here at IMG…

Have a great holiday weekend everybody… see you next week!
