Mt. Rainier: Coppolillo & Paradise Seminar Team on Top

The Expedition Skills Seminar - Paradise July 28 - 2 August led by RMI Guides Henry Coppolillo, Joey Manship and Will Ambler reached the summit of Mt. Rainier today.  The team met last Friday for their first day of training, equipment checks and orientation.  With full packs they ascended to their first camp on Saturday. They have spent the last four nights on the mountain, moving camps expedition style and practicing glacier travel, ice axes arrest, cramponing, crevasse rescue techniques while gradually ascending.  Yesterday they jumped up to Camp Muir and launched their summit attempt with an alpine start today.  After reaching the summit, the team descended to Camp Muir.  Once at Camp they will repack gear and continue down to Paradise.

Congratulations to today's Paradise Seminar crew!

Hats off to a super professional team at RMI. Great work navigating some tricky weather Mike. I wasn’t sure we were going to make it. The next time I’m taking a flight over the Andes, I know who I want on my plane!
