We're back on Mt Shasta for the season! 🏔️🔥 Here's the rundown from guide Isaac Laredo:

The road closure allowed us the opportunity to experience the lower mountain and be the only climbers on the avalanche gultch route as we hiked in from McBride springs. A unique experience! We had some incredible shooting stars and great climbing snow conditions. The upper mountain was quite windy which made climbing challenging as we decided to turn around and enjoy a scenic decent, nap, and make our way home. It was great to get back on the mountain and see it is in great shape for the ski and climbing season.

We don’t come to Patagonia for the easy turns—we come for the remote terrain, big vertical, and steep descents in the Cerro Castillo range.

Daily objectives range from glacier tours to couloirs and technical lines, with up to 5,000 feet of climbing per day. You bring the fitness and skill—we handle the logistics.

Skiing four active volcanoes in nine days, soaking in remote hot springs, and chasing perfect corn snow in southern Chile—this trip is what ski dreams are made of.⁠

We climb and ski Lonquimay, Llaima, Villarrica, and Osorno—each offering different terrain, big vertical, and wide-open turns.⁠

After long days in the mountains, we unwind with local food, Pisco Sours, and thermal springs. It’s high-output skiing with a relaxed pace—pure Type 1 fun.⁠

No crowds. No chaos. All skiing.⁠

→ Four volcanoes. Nine days. All-time corn snow. Ski Chile with us this September—Villarrica, Osorno, and more.

Most people try K2 once, if ever—Garrett Madison is going back for his 10th attempt, with 3 successful summits already. With decades of experience on Everest, K2, and other 8,000-meter peaks, Garrett has become one of the most respected high-altitude guides in the world.

In this episode of The Duffel Shuffle, he talks about what makes K2 uniquely dangerous—from the steep terrain and avalanche hazard to the limited rescue options—and how his relationship with risk has shifted over time.

Alan Arnette says the mountains stripped away any pretense about who he thought he was—and revealed who he really is.
“I became a better version of myself. And I hope that through that, I can contribute to humanity in a more positive way.”
On The Duffel Shuffle, Alan opens up about arrogance, failure, growth, and why he believes it would be selfish not to share what he’s learned.

“I’ve been accused of ghosting people—and so be it.” Everest chronicler Alan Arnette doesn’t pull punches. In Episode 25 of The Duffel Shuffle, he talks about only covering guides who respect the mountain, their clients, and leave-no-trace principles—and why he leaves out the rest. He also shares what fuels his passion: the human stories. The ones that aren’t about fame, but about grit.

This July, we’re teaming up with the Juniper Fund to offer a rare opportunity: a fully guided Mt. Rainier climb that delivers the Alpenglow experience—tight logistics, strong guides, and a meaningful objective.

Even better? 100% of the proceeds support the Khumbu Climbing Center in Nepal, where many of our Sherpa teammates have trained. KCC equips Nepali mountain workers with the skills they need to guide safely, lead confidently, and return home.

Climb with purpose. Climb for the people who make climbing possible.

🗓️ July 18–21
🧗‍♂️ 4-day guided Rainier climb
🌍 All proceeds to the Khumbu Climbing Center

Carstensz Pyramid is one of the wildest objectives in our lineup. Sitting at 16,024 feet in the remote highlands of Papua, Indonesia, it’s the tallest peak in Oceania—and the only one of the Seven Summits that’s a technical rock climb.

We skip the muddy, unpredictable jungle approach and fly straight to base camp by helicopter. From there, it’s sharp limestone ridgelines, fixed lines, and true adventure climbing all the way to the summit. This one’s for climbers who want something different.
