Mt. Rainier: Paradise Glacier Seminar Fun with Crevasse Rescue
Posted by: Adam Knoff, Leah Fisher
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier
Elevation: 8,500'
The Paradise Glacier Seminar is in full effect with loads of exciting training taking place. We have a beautiful camp at 8,500 feet on the Cowlitz Glacier surrounded by steep walls and breathtaking crevasses. Our team is all in great spirits and thriving in what has been described as a high excitement summer camp for aspiring mountain climbers. The weather is not as sunny as the two previous days but at least some of the forest fire smoke has subsided opening up some great views. We are all getting psyched for our move to Camp Muir tomorrow.
Team Paradise sends their best to family and friends.
