Mt. Rainier: Bennett & Emmons Seminar Team Summit!

The Emmons Seminar Team led by RMI Guide Mike Bennett reached the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning at around 8:00 am!

The team has spent the past four days on the snow learning various mountaineering techniques and practicing their technical skills to reach the summit via the Emmons-Winthrop Glacier, the largest glacier in the lower forty-eight states, a feat not to be taken lightly. 

After celebrating their accomplishment at the summit, they descended back to Camp Schurman for some much-needed rest and a warm meal. They will spend one more night at camp, then descend the 5,000' to the to the trailhead tomorrow morning and arrive at our Ashford BaseCamp that afternoon. 

Congratulations climbers!

Mt. Rainier: Grom, Crawford and Team Summit!

This morning at 7:30 AM, the Four Day Climb team led by Casey Grom and Joe Crawford successfully descended from the crater rim of Mount Rainier after a successful summit push. The team was greeted with clear skies, light winds, and ideal climbing conditions.

From the summit, climbers enjoyed expansive views above a lingering marine layer that hovered around 7,600 feet. The contrast between the crystal-clear skies above and the thick cloud cover below created a surreal and breathtaking scene—one of those rare moments that make all the effort worthwhile.

Congratulations to all the climbers on a successful ascent!
