Congratulations to today's climbers!

Hello friends and family, 

Today we summited Shuksan! The team absolutely crushed it - it was the first time rock climbing for a few in the group, but we climbed the SE ridge smoothly and efficiently. On our way down we spent time checking out a crevasse and doing a bit of ice climbing. 

We are back at camp now with plans to walk out in the morning.

The Four Day climb led by RMI guides Joe Hoch and Mac Nolde made it to the summit of Mt Rainier this morning. They reported nice weather and a busy route. They were leaving the crater starting their descent back to Camp Muir around 7am. They will return to Ashford this afternoon. 

Great work up there! 

RMI Guides Jess Wedel, Dylan Anderson, and Stella Johnson led their team to an early morning summit of Glacier Peak today. After descending back to high camp, the team took some time to rest before packing up and continuing down to their lower camp, where they will spend the night. Tomorrow morning, they'll complete the final leg of their journey with the descent to the trailhead.

Congratulations to the entire team on a successful summit!

The Four Day climb led by RMI guides Nikki Champion and Joe Crawford attempted to summit this morning. Shortly after leaving Camp Muir, they experienced lightening which led to them turning around. The lightning continued until 4am. They reported a dark cloud deck below, and a cloud cap above. They enjoyed a sunrise hike to Muir Peak instead. They will descend to Paradise this morning and be back in Ashford this afternoon. 

Nice work up there!

RMI's four-day climb led by guides Joe Hoch and Felipe Guarderas reached the summit of Mt Rainier this morning around 6:20am. They reported sunshine with a light breeze and a trace of new snow. They are currently on their descent back to Camp Muir and will return to Ashford this afternoon. 

Great work everyone!

The Expedition Skills Seminar - Kautz June 19 - 24 led by RMI Guides Henry Coppolillo, Dylan Anderson, Margo Kerr, and Aidan Whitelaw reached the summit of Mt. Rainier just before 10 am today. Henry reported beautiful weather and great route conditions. The team spent a few minutes in the crater before starting their descent. They will return to their high camp for one more night on the mountain and some additional training.  Tomorrow they will retrace their steps to Paradise and conclude their program at Rainier BaseCamp in the afternoon.

Way to go climbers!

The Four Day Climb June 15 - 18 led by RMI Guides Dominic Cifelli and Felipe Guarderas reached 13,600ft this morning before high winds and route conditions turned them around.

After a short break, they will continue from Camp Muir to Paradise. We expect them to return to Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon.
