Mt Rainier: August 14th Summit!
The Four Day Summit Climbs August 11 - 14, 2012 reached the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning. The teams reported a beautiful day with 25-30 mph winds and clear skies. RMI Guides Brent Okita, Tim Hardin and Andres Marin started down from the crater rim with their teams around 7:30 a.m. They will return to Camp Muir and then continue their descent to Paradise later this afternoon.
The Expedition Skills Seminar - Paradise crew moved to 9,000' on Monday and set up camp where they will remain until Wednesday morning. They watched a beautiful sunset last night. Today the team practiced fixed line travel on a 60 degree slope and are currently hanging out in crevasses.
Congratulations to today's Summit Climb teams!

Kris - I am so proud of you for completing this journey you have been on for a very long time. I have been watching the Mt since I left the house this morning at 3:30 and thinking of you. Wore the necklace you gave me and kept holding onto it and saying “please lord keep my best friend safe and bring her home to us all”. I cant wait til we can go have dinner and a drink and hear all about it. Again I am so very proud of you, love you girl.
