Mt. Rainier: Five Day Climb Teams with Okita & Hoffman Reach Summit

The Five Day Climb July 11 - 15 led by RMI Guides Brent Okita and Sam Hoffman reached the summit of Mt. Rainier today on a beautiful day. The team is currently on their descent.  Their patience paid off as they waited yesterday for many RMI Guides to reestablish the route to the summit.  The teams will return to Camp Muir to repack and rehydrate before continuning down the remaining 4.5 miles to Paradise later today. 

Congratulations climbers and a HUGE thank you to all the guides working on the route over the last several days!

Shoutout to Sam and Roland for making this an incredible experience! The fact that you worked longer hours to ensure we had an alternative route to reach the summit is what made this entire trip! I have nothing but great things to say about you both! I hope to climb a different destination with you both one day in the future! Thank you again!

I won’t be on the DC route next week when I climb, but wanted to thank the guides for working hard to re-establish the route around what sounded like a gnarly crevasse collapse.  Congrats to the climbers that reached the summit.  Enjoy the Rainier Beer and cider.
