Our Five Day Summit Climb Teams led by RMI Guides Brent Okita and JJ Justman reached the Summit of Mt. Rainier today. The team reported fair weather with winds of about 15mph and a cap on the top of the mountain. The teams spent some time on the summit and are now on their way back to Camp Muir.
Congratulations Brent, JJ, and teams on the first summit of our 2013 Mt. Rainer climbing season!

Mt. Rainier: 2013 Climbing Season is Underway!
Posted by: J.J. Justman, Brent Okita | May 14, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount Rainier
Elevation: 10,300'
Well, yesterday the first climb of the season had to grit its teeth in high winds and low visibility. Low and behold, the team did great making it up to Camp Muir at 10,000 feet.
Today the teams woke up to gorgeous weather and a view stretching well into Oregon. We will rest, relax and go for a little walk uphill to do some photo taking.
The plan then will be to get ready for our summit tomorrow.

Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount Rainier
Elevation: 10,000'
Update 5:27 p.m.: What a day! What a day! The team made it high up on the mountain and we finished the training with a Muir Peak rappel. After a full day it’s time to relax, unwind and tell some stories!
8:33 a.m.: We made the summit!! Of Muir Peak. Yesterday the weather cleared and the team got out to play in the snow. While practicing cramponing we made the top of Muir Peak just above 10,000 feet. It is always a beautiful view looking down on the Mount Rainier glaciers below.
Today we have another beautiful day to continue our expedition skills training. While we go through crevasse rescue, Brent and Katie are going to check out the conditions higher on the mountain. If all is good we will venture up the mountain later this afternoon.

Mt. Rainier: Winter Seminar Experiencing Some Weather and Training at Camp Muir
Posted by: Brent Okita, J.J. Justman, Thomas Greene, Katie Bono | April 10, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount Rainier
Elevation: 10,000'
With 80 mph winds and a blinding snowstorm at Camp Muir, it is a perfect day to conduct training inside. Our bunkhouse serves a cozy atmosphere in the storm allowing us to learn essential expedition skills. If we were in tents all we would be doing is hanging on!
Our team is in great spirits and we are waiting out the storm until we venture outside. In the meantime, we’re going to continue to sip coffee, lecture and do some rope work.
Stay tuned!

Mt. Rainier: The Winter Seminar Heads Uphill From Paradise
Posted by: Brent Okita, J.J. Justman, Thomas Greene, Katie Bono | April 08, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount Rainier
We are in Mount Rainier National Park and on the mountain! The weather has been finicky this past week with a good accumulation of snow. So much snow that we were worried that the park wouldn’t have the road to Paradise open.
At 11 AM the park opened the gates and we made it up. With all the fresh snow it was slow going but the team trudged on and we are busy making camp…Denali style! We are definitely having the true feel of what the mountains can dish out. It’s currently snowing hard and we are working fast on the kitchen and dining tent.
I need a hot drink!

Elevation: 10,800
RMI Guides Tyler Reid, Sean Collon and a team of clients spent the last five days learning the art of Ski Mountaineering. The team explored Mount Rainier’s incredible winter snowpack and accessible but challenging technical terrain. The team spent the days on the mountain learning and practicing a variety of ski specific technical skills. The trip culminated with an ascent to Camp Muir (10,060’) and the team will enjoy an exciting 5,000’ ski descent today.
