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!

The Four Day Climb June 19 0 22 led by RMI Guides Joe Hoch & Joe Crawford climbed strong to the top of Disappointment Cleaver, but above there zero visibility, strong winds and very cold temperatures turned us around. The team is now back at Camp Muir and will continue the descent to Paradise later this morning.
