Mt. Rainier: August 16th Summit!

August 16, 2011

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 14,410'

The Four Day Summit Climb August 13 - 16 led by RMI Guide Brent Okita was approaching the crater rim of Mt. Rainier at 6:50 a.m. They reported a beautiful day on Mt. Rainier with light breeze and fairly warm temperatures. The team will spend some time on top before beginning their descent to Camp Muir and continuing down to Paradise. The Expedition Skills Seminar - August 12 - 17 led by RMI Guide Billy Nugent called from the Mt. Rainier summit at 10:00 a.m. His team reached the summit in what he described as "practically t-shirt weather!" They were crossing the crater to Columbia Crest, the true summit, before they begin their descent back to camp. The team will spend the rest of the day on the mountain before descending tomorrow. Congratulations to today's teams!
