Mt. Rainier: Paradise Glacier Seminar Checks in from Camp 1

A beautiful but smoky morning at our first camp on the Paradise Glacier. Yesterday the team did great getting here. Today we move camp to 8,500 feet on the Cowlitz Glacier where we will spend the next few days training before our summit attempt. RMI Guide Adam Knoff

Go Lew.  I see your toe sticking out of that tent. Make sure you eat your veggies.  Guess your singing “Climb the Highest Mountain”.

Awesome photo!  Way to go, Dad (Lewis Smith)!  I think about you and your dream of returning to Rainier, which has now come into fruition!  Stephanie and I are so excited for you and are amazed by your hard work and dedication while preparing for your summit bid of Rainier.  We wish the best of luck…climb well, climb efficient, and climb on!  We love you!

Awesome picture of your fantastic adventure!  Go for the Gold Lew!!  We are all behind you here in St. Louis.  We will be praying for you all the way. HE will be with you all the way. Remember getting to the top is optional but getting down is Mandatory (but get to the TOP!!)
