RMI Guides Nikki Champion, Mac Nolde, Celeste Wilson and Annie Chapman led the Four Day Women's Climb July 28 - 31 to the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning. Reports are clear skies, light breeze and overall beautiful day. The climbers reached the summit early this morning and after spending a bit of time at the summit, started their descent from the crater rim around 7 am. Once back at Camp Muir the teams will pack their gear and continue the last 4.5 miles down to Paradise. They will end the day with a celebration of their adventure.
Nice work team!

Hello all,
The team has made it a day closer to the summit. Ski hill was a leg burner first thing this morning. It has been the most sustained uphill thus far, but the team walked strong and arrived to camp in good style. Clear skies and lots of sun made for a very toasty afternoon. It can be easy to forget how cold this mountain gets when you feel like you are sleeping on a tropical island, baking in these tents. As the evening progresses the temps will drop, and the cool brisk air will be a welcomed feeling as we cozy up in our sleeping bags.
Tomorrow we move to 11k camp. It is an exciting move because we will spend at least three days there. No more wake, move, sleep repeat. It’s always fun to settle into a camp and make it home for more than a day.
Goodnight all,
RMI Guide Hannah Smith and Team

We had a leisurely morning in Pheriche - taking our time to pack and sit in the sunroom playing games. Much needed after our big Lobuche push.
We said goodbye to Dawa, our head Sherpa guide, as he heads back to Everest Base Camp to climb this season and took off out of Pheriche.
Right before we left town, we were sent off by two more of the floofiest baby yaks. Always a day maker.
We took in the views and walked just under three hours to our teahouse in Pangboche. A lovely short day so we had the afternoon to rest before two big days of walking ahead.

The Five Day Climb July 25 - 29 reached the summit of Mt. Rainier today around 5 am led by RMI Guide Dave Hahn. The team is currently on their descent. Once they reach Camp Muir they will have a short break to repack and refuel for the remaining 4,500' descent to Paradise. This is the first RMI team to summit via the newly established route. A BIG thank you to all the route workers over the last several days!
Congratulations to today's climbers!
Great job !
