Congratulations to all. What an accomplishment. And you all did not have to suffer this heat wave in Seattle.

Congrats! Proud of my old buddy Kelby. This is a trip of a lifetime and I am glad you are able to go. Stay safe and warm, and healthy. Can’t wait to see the pictures!

I mentioned this expedition today in one of my safety meetings, today’s topic was heat stress and heat stroke - the correlation was “Hydration”. Everyone stay safe and watch out for each other.

Safe Climbing,

Bill

Congratulations to your group!
Last year I was climbing Rainier with a friend of mine (Ed Savidge, Port Townsend, Wa) who met an RMI guide who graciously airdropped the gpx route to us.
That being said could you possibly email me your gpx of Ingraham Direct. I know it’s asking a lot but I like to have the most up to date information at hand. We’ll be climbing this Friday.
Thank you.

Congratulations to all of the climbers! You’ve demonstrated incredible effort in your journey before the climb and certainly during it. You’ve inspired us down at sea level to experience the view above the clouds.

Special shout-out to Scott from all of us watching at home. You made it! What an incredible feeling! xoxo

Heartfelt thanks to the guides who shared such depth of wisdom and experience as well as patience and support to make this a success. Thank you for doing what you do!
