The Five Day Climb June 7 - 11 led by RMI Guide Joe Hoch reached the summit of Mt. Rainier today with 100% of the team. We started in full moonlight and summited 100 percent on a perfect morning!
The climbers will return to Camp Muir for a sort break and to repack before beginning the final descent to Paradise. They will conclude their program later today at Rainier BaseCamp.
Congratulations to the team!
Congrats to the team! Having only made it to Camp Muir many years ago, I wish I could have been with them. I love the shot of Mt. Adams to the west where we did climb the Klickitat icefall.
