Congratulations to Today's Team!

Our hike up to Camp Muir yesterday was beautiful. The nicest day of the season!
This morning we climbed the first 1,000' of the route to Ingraham Flats as part of our acclimatization for the climb. Reports from other guides suggest our route is the nicest, most direct route we could ask for. We're all excited!
We'll have a meeting to go over preparations for the climb tonight then get to bed before our pre-dawn departure.
Wish us well.
RMI Guides Brent Okita, Bryan Mazaika and the crew at Muir
Congratulations to all. What an accomplishment. And you all did not have to suffer this heat wave in Seattle.
