Mt. Rainier: Five Day Summit Climb Team Reaches Summit

August 2, 2017

Posted by: Christina Dale

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 14,410'

On Sunday, the Five Day Summit Climb team hiked out of Paradise to the training area to learn the necessary skills to summit Mt. Rainier. The following day the team hike to Camp Muir for their first night on the mountain. They spent time yesterday gaining more experience cramponing and working as a rope team then return to Camp Muir to prepare for their summit attempt. All of their training paid off and the team enjoyed the views from the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning, reaching the crater rim around 5:30 am. After celebrating their accomplishment and taking photos, they will descend to Camp Muir to rest and repack before continuing their descent to Paradise. They will end their program with a celebration at Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon. Congratulations to today's Five Day Summit Climb Team!
