We climbed via the Umbwe route. A trip that is beyond imagination. Don't let me forget to put the safari photos on.

Rainier Season 2008

Posted by Greg Vernovage in Climbing on 11/11/2008 at 4:20 AM

International Mountain Guides had an incredible season on Mount Rainier with a success rate of well over 85%.

Good Stuff! I had a blast on every trip, Spending over 80 total days just on Mount Rainier.

You ski guys need to get over there and check it out. There are some sick runs that will make your legs SCREEM for a little caffeine boost.

Perhaps the boys in the suits should join us.

What do you say Silver Joe's?

I think it is time to get out there and Fire up the Shoe Saw!!!

Have you ever tried a drop of Fire Water in a refreshing cup of "Joe."

Denali 2008

Posted by Greg Vernovage in Climbing on 11/11/2008 at 4:00 AM

We landed on the Kahiltna Glacier. A strong crew of six climbers and two guides. We climbed through some marginal weather, low on the glacier. Our call is you need to be willing to move in marginal weather low so that you have the good stuff on summit day.

Well, it paid off, we had a great summit day. 100% success, and to make it even better, we spent nearly one hour at the highest point in North America.

One more note, we did it in a speedy 13 days. For those of you who know Denali, you know that is moving. Great job guys!

Keep that high octane coming Silver Joe'.
