Elevation: 14,410'
Yesterday the Four Day Climb teams June 22 - 25 led by RMI Guides Brent Okita and George Hedreen enjoyed a breezy and cool snowfield, good snacks and good company. Today they made an alpine start from Camp Muir and reached the summit of Mt. Rainier just before 7 am. Breezy and cold temps made for a short stop in the crater and they began their descent from the crater rim around 7:30 am. Once back at Camp Muir, the teams will repack and take a short rest before continuing the final 4,500' down to Paradise.
Congratulations to today's climbers.
