The Four Day Summit Climb September 21 - 24 is our last Summit climb of the 2012 season. This morning they reached the crater rim of Mt.

Congratulation to today’s teams!

Mt. Rainier: Expedition Skills Seminar - Muir Update

Hi this is Seth. Today we did a dry run for our climb by heading up to Ingraham Flats this morning. The wind was blowing us around a bit but at least the sun was still out. After spending an hour at ‘The Flats’ we dropped down onto the Cowlitz Glacier for a round of crevasse rescue training. The crevasse that we picked out was great and everyone was brave enough to go down in it. Now we’re relaxing for the evening. Tonight we climb!

The Expedition Skills Seminar - Muir is on our third day of the program and our second day on the mountain. After a great day of training at Rainier BaseCamp on Sunday, we spent most of the day yesterday getting up to Camp Muir and today we are launching into our training. The weather has been great so far and it’s supposed to hold for the week. We’re psyched for that. Here’s a pic of Senior Guide Lindsay Mann teaching ice axe arrest.
We’ll check in again soon.

Our Four Day Summit Climb September 14 - 17 reached the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning led by RMI Guides Eric Frank and Elias de Andres Martos. The teams reported calm winds and warm temperatures. The sky is hazy due to the wildfires in eastern Washington. They were able to spend some time on the summit before starting their descent around 9 am PT. The teams will return to Camp Muir to repack and then continue their descent to Paradise. We look forward to seeing them at Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon.
Congratulations to today’s summit climb teams!
