RMI's four-day climb led by guides Dan May and Calvin Jiricko made it to the summit this morning around 7:40am. They reported a nice morning although a bit breezy. They are currently on their descent back to Camp Muir, and they will return to Ashford this afternoon.
Great work up there, team!

The Four Day Climb teams June 29 - 2 July led by RMI Guides Dustin Wittmier & George Hedreen reached the summit of Mt. Rainier today after 6 am. The teams enjoyed some time in the crater, crossing to the true summit, before beginning their descent from the crater rim. The teams will return to Camp Muir for a short break before continuing down to Paradise later today. They will conclude their program with a short ceremony later today.
Nice work team!
Go Rachel!!!!!

The four-day climb stayed at Camp Muir today and were unable to climb due to heavy snow and wind. Gusts were nearly 60 miles per hour overnight.
Way to stay strong up there team!

Elevation: 13,600'
The Four Day Climb June 15 - 18 led by RMI Guides Dominic Cifelli and Felipe Guarderas reached 13,600ft this morning before high winds and route conditions turned them around. The team had descended to the top of Disppointment Cleaver, 12,500', by 7 am and are continuing to make their way back to Camp Muir. After a short break, they will continue from Camp Muir to Paradise. We expect them to return to Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon.
