Entries from Mount Rainier
Congratulations to RMI Guide
Dave Hahn and the Big City Mountaineers’ Summit for Someone team that reached the
Mt. Rainier summit! With good weather and route conditions, Dave and his team spent some time on top before starting their descent at 9:45 a.m. They are working their way back to Camp Muir and will finish their celebration of today's accomplishments at Rainier Basecamp this afternoon.
RMI Guides Win Whittaker and Seth Waterfall topped
Mt. Rainier in very calm winds and beautiful skies. The teams checked in at 7:15 a.m. and had already began their descent from the crater rim. With the cloud layer just below Paradise, they have been enjoying the view since sunrise and the weather should stay in their favor as the sun continues to shine upon them.

Win Whittaker and
Pete Van Deventer were unable to make their summit attempt due to lightening strikes and rain throughout the night. The teams stayed safely tucked in at Camp Muir. They will begin their descent to Paradise later this morning.
Congrats on the climb. D.H. you’re the energizer bunny of climbing. I can still see the poster of Everest you had in your dorm room and you saying it was a goal of yours. Few get to realize a dream, and that goes for the whole team. Somewhere out there you are inspiring someone. Don’t stop doing what you love.
