Early this morning, the Five Day Climb team, led by Seth Burns and George Hedreen, reached the summit of Mt. Rainier via the iconic Disappointment Cleaver route. The ascent was graced with stunning views and crisp mountain air.
As they stepped onto the summit, smiles and cheers filled the air.
At 7:00 AM, they departed the crater rim and began their journey back to Camp Muir. From there, they’ll continue to Basecamp later this afternoon, bringing with them stories, memories, and a well-earned sense of accomplishment.
Congratulations to Seth, George, and the entire team on a successful summit and a safe descent!

Hello again everyone!
It was another beautiful day here in Cusco Peru. The team spent the morning visiting several more interesting Incan archaeological site above the city with massive stone structures and panoramic views of the valley.
We then headed to the old town and visit the Sun Temple and then made to the beautiful basilica that sit in the main square of Cusco.
It was another busy day and the team spent the remainder of the day packing up and then headed out for one more fantastic Peruvian fusion dinner.
It’s off to bed we go as tomorrow we head out early for the start of our Trek!!!

Day one on the climb is always a tough one. The excitement is swirling, the nerves are high, and the bar for entry is even higher. There is a lot to get used to during expedionary life, especially one as remote as Denali. We have to pretend we could lose our gloves at any gust of wind, lose our gear during the next snowstorm, or rip our homes if we’re careless. The mountain is tough, but today proved that we can be just as tough. The first day is one of the only days that you’re carrying everything you brought all at once. The road to Camp 1 is just too long to do the typical; carry and cache, move camps, grab the cache. So we must make the long slog to the base of Ski Hill. With cold temps, clear skies, and crunchy snow we weaved through the crevassed Kahiltna glacier and made camp at around 8:30 this morning. We’re at camp now, waiting for weather updates and refueling for tomorrows effort. We’ll cache up at Kahiltna pass.
Thanks for following along,

Like the warmth of the sun
And the light of the day,
May the luck of the Irish
Shine bright on your way
Best wishes for Saturday’s push to the summit, Love Mom

Well, the water heater has been replaced, the leaking toilet has been repaired, the weather has cooled off so no need for air conditioners or screens, the lawn is freshly mowed, and the sun is shining for the first time in days. Hope that portends good weather on Denali as well. Thinking of all of you hunkering down in your tents. Hope everyone has good reading material!
