Unless you are at Camp Muir, 10,080', this morning you most likely can't see Mt. Rainier. Fortunately for the

RMI Guide Casey Grom reported light winds and clear skies about 7,200'.
Congratulations to today's Summit Climb team!

Congratulations to today's climbers!

Nick Scott and the
Expedition Skills Seminar - Kautz team was unable to reach the summit of Mt. Rainier today. Poor route conditions forced the team to call 13,100' their high point. The team will spend a final night on the mountain before finishing their descent tomorrow. We look forward to seeing them in Ashford tomorrow afternoon.
