Mt. Rainier: September 3rd Update

Elevation: 14,410'

Summit!  Both Mt. Rainier teams reached the summit by the light of the moon and then the rise of the sun.  What a beautiful day on top!  RMI Guides Tyler Jones and Geoff Schellens radioed in with a bluebird report- light winds, blue skies and a bit chilly. The route is in excellent shape and both teams left the crater rim by 8:15 a.m.

Mt. Rainier: September 2nd Update

RMI Guides Jake Beren and Ty Reid and their summit climb teams tagged the Mt. Rainier summit this morning!  The summit was enveloped by a cloud cap, which created only moderate winds and saturated (not precipitating) air.  Both teams had began their descent from the crater rim at 7:30 a.m.

Congratulations to today’s summit climbers!

Our Four Day Summit Climb teams reached the top of Mt. Rainier early today, by the light of the blue moon. The guides reported good weather, the winds were decreasing, and it was cold! 

This summit climb marked RMI Guide Brent Okita’s 450th summit of Mt. Rainier!  Congratulations on your remarkable milestone!

We would also like to congratulate RMI clients Alex and Julie.  News from the summit this morning that Alex proposed to Julie and she accepted!  A special day on Mt. Rainier!
