A big thank you to our stellar RMI Guides for their hard work yesterday maintaining and improving the route. The climb marks the 250th time RMI Guide Casey Grom has reached the summit of Mt. Rainier. Congratulations Casey we are priviledged to work with such an accomplished and great guide. We hope your 250th summit was a memorable one!

The first Expedition Skills Seminar - Paradise of 2021 led by RMI Guide Alan Davis finished up their week of expedition skills training with a summit of Mt. Rainier via the Disappointment Cleaver route! The team has spent the last five days on Mt.

Today is their sixth and final day on the mountain and we are excited to hear about their week when they return to Ashford this afternoon.
Congratulations team!
