Come Climb With Us!

Our Philosophy

Getting safely up and down mountains is just the beginning of the story at Rainier Mountaineering, Inc. (RMI). Founded by the legendary Lou Whittaker and staffed by the most experienced and talented guides in America, RMI has built a five-decade-long legacy of safe, successful, and enjoyable mountaineering adventures.

Experience matters in the mountains, and that is exactly what we have gained over the last 50 years. There is no substitute for the years of expedition guiding around the world, over 300 Denali Expeditions, over 80,000 climbers on Mt. Rainier, and some of America's first ventures into the far reaches of the Himalaya.
