RMI Guide Hannah McGowan met her
Expedition Skills Seminar - Paradise team on July 29th for a day of Technical Training and gear checks. The next day they drove to Paradise and began their climb. The team moved slowly up the mountain setting up camp, learning new skills and practicing new techniques. Yesterday they moved into Camp Muir and prepared for their summit attempt. With an early alpine start this morning, the team left Camp Muir enroute to the summit. With blue skies and light winds they reached the summit of Mt. Rainier and after enjoying the views, began their descent to Camp Muir around 7 AM PT. Once back at camp they will pack up and continue their descent to Paradise. We look forward to seeing them at Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon to conclude their week of training and climbing.
Congratulations to the Paradise Seminar Team!

While the lower elevations around Mt. Rainier have cloudy skies and a bit of rain this morning, the
Four Day Summit Climb July 31 - 3 August enjoyed blue skies and sunshine for their summit climb. The team reached the summit this morning with light winds and were able to spend some time on the crater soaking in the views before beginning their descent around 7 AM PT. The cloud deck remains at around 7,500' but hopefully it will clear about before the team gets to that elevation this afternoon.
Congratulations to today's Summit Climb team!
