Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 14, 410'

The Expedition Skills Seminar Team, led by RMI Guide Dustin Wittmier, reached the summit of Mt. Rainier today via the Emmons Glacier.

Over the past week, the team has been training on the upper slopes of Mt. Rainier, honing a variety of advanced alpine techniques. Today, they put those skills to the test and successfully climbed to the top of the mountain.

The team will spend one more night at Camp Schurman before descending and returning to Rainier Basecamp tomorrow afternoon.

Congratulations to the entire team on a successful summit!
