Mt. Rainier: Muir Expedition Skills Seminar Summit!
Posted by: Mike Walter, Jake Beren
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier
Elevation: 14,410'
The Expedition Skills Seminar - Muir stood on top of Mt. Rainier today! RMI Guide Jake Beren called in at noon to say they were starting their descent back to Camp Muir. The team has been based out of the 10,000' high camp all week learning many mountaineering skills to help them achieve their goal of reaching the Mt. Rainier summit. They have also learned more advanced skills to go on to summit bigger peaks, such as Mt. McKinley in Alaska or Mt. Elbrus in Russia. The seminar team will stay on the mountain tonight and descend to Paradise tomorrow.
Congratulations to the summit climbers!

Jeff -I just want to send a small piece of advice -“Don’t look down”. All kidding aside, I think it is remarkable what you have accomplished in your mountain climbing expeditions. Your family and friends are proud that you are making a commitment to train for future aid, that can save lives. I was impressed when you had the heavy backpack strapped on your back , and walked with the treadmill at a steep incline. I can’t imagine the real thing! Good luck, stay strong, and keep God by your side. See you soon Mountain Man!! Nanci Habermel
