Hi! I have done one day of ice climbing basic skills in Iceland in 2016. I am interested in the 4 day or 5 day rainier summit trip. I was wondering if Ed Viestrus and Peter Whittaker are still taking people up there? if so, which dates?

Posted by: irene on 11/4/2017 at 11:47 pm

Fantastic! Thank you weather gods for the favorable weather. Looking forward to the first hand report.
