Mt. Rainier: Expedition Skills Seminar - Kautz - 100% Team on Top!

July 11, 2025

Posted by: Mike Haugen

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 14, 410'

The ESS - Kautz Team, led by RMI Guide Mike Haugen, reached the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning via the Kautz Route, a classic route!

After a week of intense alpine training and a thrilling climb up the Kautz Ice Chute, the team topped out in style. They're now making their way down the mountain via the Disappointment Cleaver Route, completing an epic "up and over" traverse.

Huge congratulations to the entire team for their teamwork, and mountaineering skill!
