Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 14,410'

Our Four Day Summit Climb teams led by RMI Guides Peter Whittaker and Mike Uchal reached the summit of Mt. Rainier early this morning. The teams reported a perfect day of climbing with light winds and sunny skies. RMI Guide Mike King and his Expeditions Skills Seminar team also reached the summit of Mt. Rainier via the Emmons Route this morning. They will descend back to Camp Schurman and spend some more time training on the mountain before returning to Rainier Basecamp tomorrow. Congratulations to today's teams!

My son Ira & I summited with Mike Uchal & Steve on the 23rd! It was a great day, great experience and we had 9 great members of our team along with Mike & Steve.
James was in our training class, all 3, true professionals! First attempt & made it at 60 years young!

Congratulations to all.

I was supposed to be with Peter Whittaker’s team, but fractured my Greater Trochanter (I had to Google it too) in a MTB accident a few weeks ago. Probably won’t be back at it till well into September. I really wanted to summit Rainier this year. Thanks, Peter for letting me go with you next year!

Dr Musil…..your brother is so happy for you. I have always said, I want you by my side in the best and worst of times and this adventure once again proves why. I am smiling big this morning and pray for your safe descent.
Your brother Larry
