The Four Day Climb July 16 - 19 led by RMI Guide Mike Haugen reached the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning.  The teams enjoyed some time on top before starting their descent from the crater rim around 7 am.  Climbers will return to Camp Muir for a quick break then they repack and continue the final 4.5 miles to Paradise. Their program will conclude this afternoon at Rainier BaseCamp with a celebration ceremony.

Congratulations to today's climbers!

They will return to Ashford this afternoon. 

Great work team!

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.

Great work team!

The four-day climb turned around at Ingraham Flats on their summit attempt this morning due to avalanche conditions. They enjoyed a beautiful sunrise! They will be descending back to Paradise later this morning. 

RMI teams led by guides Will Ambler and Joe Crawford made their summit attempt this morning. As a result of recent snow accumulation and strong winds on the upper mountain, they found evidence of snow instability and decided to turn around at 12,450'. The teams had made their way back to Camp Muir and are doing additional training for the remainder of the morning. 

Nice work team!
