The RMI team on Mt Shuksan reached the summit via the Fisher Chimneys. They are on their descent back to the trailhead today. 

Great work everyone!

The Four Day Climb August 13 - 16 led by RMI Guides Nick Sinapius & Jack Ritterson reached the summit around 6:30 am today. They had overcast skies and a steady wind of 10-20 mph keeping things cool.  The team started their descent from the crater rim shortly before 8 am.  Once back at Camp Muir the climbers will take a quick break and repack their gear, then descend the remaining 4.5 miles to Paradise.

Congratulations to today's climbers!

The Four Day Climb teams for August 10 - 13 led by RMI Guides Mike Bennet and Henry Coppolillo were unable to reach the summit of Mt.

Way to go, climbers!

A thunder and lightning storm rolled through the area yesterday evening which kept the Four Day Climb July 20 - 23 from making their summit attempt.  The teams led by RMI Guides Mike Bennett and Sam Hoffman were able to ascend to Ingraham Flats around 8 am to see a bit of the route and use their glacier travel skills.  They will descend from Camp Muir later this morning.

The Four Day Climb teams led by Mike King and Mike Bennett reached the summit of Mt. Rainier at around 7:15 am this morning.

The teams endured high winds up top, so they touched the top and started their descent back downhill after a quick break.

They'll make the journey back to Camp Muir, down to Paradise, and hop on a quick shuttle ride back to Ashford by the evening.  

Great job climbers!
