RMI's four-day climb, led by guides Nikki Champion and Ben Luedtke, reached the summit of Mount Rainier this morning at 6:30 a.m. The team reported high winds on the mountain, so they tagged the summit and promptly began their descent toward Camp Muir at 7:00 a.m.
After regrouping at camp, they'll continue their descent to Paradise and return to Ashford later today.
Congratulations to all the climbers and guides on a successful summit!
