February 24, 2021 There were NO Mt. Vinson programs operated this past season (with any company) due to COVID. For that reason there is now a backlog of climbers wishing to climb Mt Vinson for the upcoming 2021-22 season, and there are only a very few seats remaining on the IL-76 flights to the ice. […]
May 26, 2020 Haven’t written any blog posts in the last few months and I kind of miss it. Not the norm for IMG climbers, staff, guides and partners to see things so quiet. But, indeed, there are signs of life. There is some good news on the Vinson Massif front. ALE, our flight service, […]
January 22, 2020 Let’s say congratulations, once last time, to our Vinson team and wish them all an easy flight home, except Jonathan. Guide, Jonathan Schrock, heads to Puerto Natales to meet our Patagonia trekking group. FUN duty for him. Things could not have gone any sweeter on Vinson and we’re already looking ahead towards […]
January 21, 2020 Some good news to report this morning from Antarctica – the planes are in the air. Weather has cleared and our team should have already made the flight over to Union Glacier from Vinson Base Camp. We also heard that the IL 76 is ‘in the air’, meaning everyone should be back […]
January 19, 2020 IMG’s Aconcagua team is climbing now. All were doing well when I spoke with Nickel yesterday from high camp. Three guides are with them, so we’re hoping for the best. He was expecting all members to take a shot at the summit, but we don’t know until we know. When we get […]
January 17, 2020 Always nice to report that we have received news of another successful Vinson ascent. All members are on the summit and descending now. No details other than all is well, and that they are on their way down. Exactly what we wanted to hear. They’ll need one more full climbing day before […]
January 15, 2020 Update time from the Southern Hemisphere, as everyone is in position to make some significant movement today. Antarctica is first – team is doing well. It’s just fun when you have a strong, competent team. Jonathan called in yesterday that weather is looking good for a move to high camp today. Can’t […]
January 12, 2020 We’ve received updates from down South, so it’s time to get caught up. Let’s start way south and work our way north. Jonathan Schrock got a text out this morning. He and the team have been at Union Glacier, waiting for better flying weather. Not exactly tough duty, but Jonathan wrote to […]
January 8, 2020 With their gear checks and orientation complete, Johnathan Schrock has our second Vinson team of the season in Punta Arenas, Chile and flying out onto the Ice almost a day ahead of schedule. When you’re hot, you’re hot! Phil Ershler
