Mt. Rainier: Four Day Climb Reaches 12,200’

The Four Day Climb led by RMI Guides Brent Okita, and Ben Ammon reached 12,200' feet before turning due to unstable snow on the route. Some of the team also took advantage of the beautiful weather to learn additional mountaineering skills at Ingraham Flats.

Mt. Rainier: Bond, Wedel & Five Day Climb Update

The Five Day Climb reached Camp Muir after what we deemed “the spiciest snowfield ascent ever”. We worked together in high winds and low visibility to stay warm and keep climbing. After a night of higher winds, colder temperatures and more snow, we opted to do some training at Camp Muir. We started the morning with some avalanche basics culminating in digging pits to assess snow instability.  The results weren’t promising so as a team we made the safe, but hard, choice not to ascend any higher. The sun came out and we spent the day learning snow anchors, crevasse rescue and taking in the beautiful views from Camp Muir.

We’ll begin our descent to Paradise this morning and conclude our program this afternoon. All in all, this team unified in tough conditions to have an incredible climbing experience.

Amazing Experience!  Jess, Andy and all the Guides were phenomenal as they kept us safe and maintained High Spirits and PMA throughout a “Ghost Pepper Spicy” day.. Can’t wait to share pics and stay connected!  Couldn’t have picked a better group of people for a truly Epic Adventure!  Thank you RMI !

“The summit is what drives us, but the climb itself is what matters.”

Couldn’t have asked for a better team to be with on a trip, summit or no summit. Hootah!!!

Mt. Rainier: June 8th Team reaches 11,200’

The team enjoyed a beautiful sunrise and started their descent from Camp Muir.

Early season is tough on Rainier. It’s more miss than hit until July 4th.

We’re scheduled for a 5 day in mid-june… In looking through the blog I don’t see any successful summits this season… is there a summary we can see that provides some insight into how things are going in order to judge our chances (weather permitting) of success ?

Mt. Rainier: Four Day Climb Teams Unable to Summit due to Weather

The Four Day Climb August 6 - 9 led by RMI Guides Casey Grom and Joe Hoch were unable to reach the summit of Mt. Rainier today.  The lenticular cloud over the mountain brought snow and winds and the teams reached 13,400' before deteriorating weather encouraged them to turn around. The climbers will return to Camp Muir for a quick stop before continuing to Paradise this afternoon.

You came very close!  Darned bad luck with the weather.  Great effort getting up there, can’t wait for the stories.

Posted by: Olga Walker on 8/9/2023 at 8:09 pm

Great effort. Much to be proud of. Managed challenges but can’t manage Mother Nature.
Be proud of yourselves.
