The Five Day Climb July 25 - 29 reached the summit of Mt. Rainier today around 5 am led by RMI Guide Dave Hahn. The team is currently on their descent. Once they reach Camp Muir they will have a short break to repack and refuel for the remaining 4,500' descent to Paradise. This is the first RMI team to summit via the newly established route. A BIG thank you to all the route workers over the last several days!
Congratulations to today's climbers!

Good Morning!
Most of team opted for a full educational day over a difficult summit climb. Summit team woke up at 10pm and with high winds in camp we made the call to skip the walk and prepare for a full educational day today. We will finish our expedition skills training here at Camp Schurman before descending tomorrow.

Thank you so much to the RMI team. Every member was excellent at what they do. A special thank you to Guides Sam, Rosie and George. They got me through this tough and amazing experience. How special it was to complete this with my son. Thanks again!

Thanks again for pushing us to reach the summit. Up against high winds and odds not to reach summit Team RMI delivered a life long dream of mine to be on top of that mountain. Cheers.

The Four Day Climb June 30 - 3 July was unable to reach the summit today due to high winds. RMI Guides Joe Hoch and Tatum Whatford left Camp Muir with an alpine start but were turned back at Ingraham Flats due to extremely high winds. The teams returned safely to Camp Muir where they spent the rest of the morning. They plan to start their descent from Camp Muir to Paradise around 9 am.
