Elevation: 14,410'
The Four Day Climb June 22 - 25 reached the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning led by RMI Guides Pete Van Deventer and James Bealer. The teams reached the crater rim at 5:30 am, they enjoyed clear skies and a light breeze during their climb. The route remains in good shape and teams were making good time on their descent. They were at 13,500' around 7 am heading back to Camp Muir. They will enjoy a short break at Camp Muir to refuel and repack, then descend the remaining 4.5 miles and 4,500ft to reach Paradise.
Congratulations to today's teams on reaching the summit of Mt. Rainier!
