Entries from Mount Rainier
Billy, Nick and Robby, Thanks for making our summit possible. Getting there was my most amazing physical accomplishment and I owe it to your outstanding guidance. I was happy with my strength and endurance, but not my balance and I wasn’t a big fan of the crevices. At first I thought this would be it and it took me a few days to be able to walk easily again, but now I am getting juiced about another challenge. I did write up about a six page summary and am putting together a picture book as wel. Billy, I especially owe my summit to you and really appreciate all you did to keep pushing me and keeping me in one piece. Heart surgery is sure easier than mountaineering. Good luck and thanks. Blue Bob

great job guys. i can only imagine the suffering going on in those conditions and how strong you all are to give that a go. i was really wishing you a blue bird summit, but i know you’ll have epic stories to tell from probably an even more spiritual adventure.—ethan

I was originally signed up to make the climb with you guys, but messed my back up and had to cancel. Although I wasn’t with you in person, I was certainly with you in spirit, and watched as you started your climb on Friday. I was one of the volunteers you encountered on your way up. Way to go!

I am so happy to see you got fantastic weather for your climb. Take some pictures of big crevasses on your way back to Muir.

Hey David, I am SO excited for you and still almost feel I am right there with you! Maybe I’ll have to do it myself one of these days. Congratulations to you and the whole team!
All my love,

Congratulations, Joe and Danielle! Most blokes be playing at ten, but you now officially go to eleven. Well, it’s one louder ... isn’t it?

Good grief, good going Wally. It looks like you lucked out with the weather. I was stuck in a snow storm when I tried.

Attaboy B-Rad! Good job. Can’t wait to hear about it.
