RMI Guide Billy Nugent and his Five Day Summit Climb Team reached the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning along with Mike King and the Four Day Summit Climb. Billy reported clear skies and cool temperatures for their climb. Both teams began their descent from the crater rim a little after 9 am PST. The teams will return to Camp Muir and then continue their descent to Paradise. We look forward to seeing both teams back at Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon.
Congratulations to today's Summit Climb teams.

“Cool”????? Billy, you are the MASTER of understatement, haha!
I’m so sorry that I couldn’t hang with you to the summit, but I very thankful to you for keeping us all safe. You are a true professional, and I have the utmost respect for you, Katrina, Blake and the entire RMI team.
