Give your boss theand take a trip with us!

Sorry Folks - I am currently living in Chennai, India while I do some engineering work for Cairn Energy on a deepwater oil and gas drilling project. Just like most other guides these days, I do "other" work in addition to guiding. Doing deepwater drilling engineering work is the "other" half of my life and these days i'm pretty damn busy so it is taking up most of my available time. I am expected to be out of the country until around May of 2001. So we will not do any trips until I return. I am doing some local climbing here, and I'll try to post some images within the next few weeks, so please check back and have a look! I'll still check my email while I'm away. Thanks - Chuck Lohn

PS - If you want to contact me by mail, you can write to: Chuck Lohn, 3-E, Cambrae Hall, 27 Victoria Crescent Road, 3rd Floor, Egmore, Chennai - 600008 INDIA. I'll have some good campfire stories when I get back!

Kayak along side Humpback Whales, Sea Lions, Seals and Otters in the land of the Great White North. We'll fly into Juneau, Alaska where we will catch a ride on a Kayak ferry boat which will take us to Point Adolphus. We will camp out in crystal clear inlets filled with bald eagles and killer whales. Point Adolphus is known as being one of the best spots to view wildlife. During our trip, we will cover approximately 50 miles of Alaska's most beautiful coastline in two -person ocean going Kayaks. No experience is necessary. Seven Days round trip from Juneau. Cost is $2500.00. Please read the message above.

Both Mt. Cayambe and Cotopaxi are heavily glaciated peaks with superb ice formations. It's been said that they both look like Mount Rainier....on steroids. For the Ecuador trip, we will fly into the capital city of Quito, Ecuador which is located at an elevation of 10,000 feet. Then we will travel to Mt. Cayambe where we will do some glacier school work and acclimatize to an elevation of 15,000 feet before making our summit bid. After Cayambe, we will travel to the town of Banos where we will recoup for a few days in the local hot springs, and do some horseback riding along some rain forest jungle trails. We will then travel to Mt. Cotopaxi where we will finish the trip with a summit attempt on the world's highest active volcano. Massive ice formationa line the route. All clients will be screened for proper experience before being accepted on the trip. Cost: $2500.00. Please read the message above.

The Annapurna circuit is a 100+ mile trekking trip that circumnavigates the Annapurna Sanctuary of the Himalayas. This trail is widely known as the most spectacular trek in the world. We will fly into Kathmandu, for our trip where we will team up with our nepali sherpas who will help with our loads. Then we will spend two weeks hiking through the high valleys and meadows of the Himalaya. Cost: $5000.00. Please read the message above.

Sell the Lexus and see the world. Vinson is the tallest mountain on the continent
of Antarctica, with a summit elevation of just over 16,000 feet. The biggest challenge
of doing this peak is working out the logistics of just getting there! For our trip, we
will travel to the southern most tip of Argentina where we will board an air force C-130
transport plane for the ride to the bottom of the Earth. Then we will catch an Otter
aircraft for the ride to base camp. This will be a once in a lifetime climb. Approximate
travel time is 3 weeks.
Cost will be: $21,000.00. Please read the message above.

Join us on the white stuff this winter when the rock climbing gets too cold in Texas. We will fly into Durango early Thursday morning, and climb Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday before heading home late Sunday evening. We'll hit ice climbing designations in Durango, Telluride and Ouray while we're there, and then we'll head back to Dallas late Sunday night. We have special flight arrangements, so please call for details. No Experience is Necessary! All ice tools are provided. Cost is $395.00 which includes instruction and hotels. Dates are in January and February. Please read the message above.

Step into the third world while staying a comfortable distance to the Texas border. The Portrero Chico area has become well known as an incredible location with limestone walls that tower to over 2000 feet in height. If you climb 5.9, then this is an excellent location for climbing day routes that may be as tall as seven or eight pitches in length. Easy access to Monterey also allows us to eat some familiar food without running any risks of getting Montezuma's revenge. Four days for $500.00. Please read the message above.

Hangdog now has a commercial guiding permit for Hueco Tanks state park. Hueco Tanks is widely known as one of the best sport climbing areas in North America. What makes the Tanks so unique is a rare type of rock which is riddled with large holes called "huecos" which form swiss cheese jug holds up dead vertical walls. IT'S A BLAST! If we were to claim a sport area of choice, it would be Hueco Tanks. As usual, each guide will climb with two or three clients, and each rope team will be "ability grouped" so that clients can pick either easy or harder routes to climb. Please read the message above.
