Hi! I have done one day of ice climbing basic skills in Iceland in 2016. I am interested in the 4 day or 5 day rainier summit trip. I was wondering if Ed Viestrus and Peter Whittaker are still taking people up there? if so, which dates?

Fantastic! Thank you weather gods for the favorable weather. Looking forward to the first hand report.

Elevation: 9,600'

The Mt. Rainier Expedition Skills Seminar - Emmons led by RMI Guide JJ Justman was unable to make a summit attempt this morning. The team remained at Camp Schurman due to wet weather (rain and snow mix) and low visibility. When JJ called to check-in with the RMI Office this morning the weather had improved a little and the team was going to spend the day training around Camp Schurman. The team will spend tonight on the mountain before descending and returning to Ashford tomorrow.

“A great accomplishment shouldn’t be the end of the road, just the starting point for the next leap forward.” Have a safe descent tomorrow, guys!
