Congratulations to our teammate, Mark Pengelly, for making his Mt. Rainier summit this morning. This was Mark’s second summit bid this summer since our July 18th summit bid was cut short due to extreme weather. Mark is the first Tideworks Mountaineers to summit Mt. Rainier. We have Hugh Gallagher summiting tomorrow morning and Steve Albert summiting Aug. 23. This is an exciting summer for our team.
Congratulations to the entire team this morning!!!

Congratulations to our teammate, Hugh Gallagher, for making his Mt. Rainier summit this morning. This was Hugh’s third summit bid on Rainier and first time to the top. In 2017, Hugh and a non-guided group made it to 12k ft before turning around due to low food/water supplies and leaving too late in the morning. Earlier this summer on July 18 with RMI, our whole Tideworks Mountaineers team, and Climb For Clean Air (American Lung Association) team, we endured extreme weather on the Muir Snowfield which left us soaking wet making a summit a safety issue for hypothermia. The conditions up top had also worsened with 45 mph winds and freezing temperatures. Our lead guide Win Whittaker with 187 summits on Rainier stated “this is as bad as it gets” and called it without making it past Camp Muir 10,188’. So we headed back to Paradise 5,400’ without getting the “icing on the cake” (what Win referred to as the summit). Hugh was determined to make the summit this summer. And we’re so happy for him that he did. Go HUGH!!!
Hugh is now the second Tideworks Mountaineer to summit Mt. Rainier with fellow teammate Mark Pengelly summiting yesterday morning with a different RMI team. Tideworks Mountaineer, Steve Albert, will summit Aug. 23 making this is a very exciting summer for our team.
Congratulations to the entire team this morning!!!
