The Four Day Climb Teams led by RMI Guides Casey Grom and Nikki Champion successfully reached the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning! They started their descent from the crater rim a little after 7:00 am, they will enjoy some breakfast during their short break at Camp Muir before descending to Paradise and arriving back at BaseCamp this afternoon.
They reported some slight winds but, overall, a beautiful morning to be on top of the mountain!
Congratulations on an incredible achievement climbers!
We did it! Summit success!
The team got up at 11pm as I mentioned yesterday and were all ready by 11:30 for the ascent. We then had a quick midnight breakfast of porridge, tea and coffee before starting our climb under a mostly full moon.
The weather was very calm and the route wasn’t all that busy allowing us to take our time and enjoy the ascent. The climb took just over 7hrs to reach the top, and thankfully the sun rose shortly before reaching the top to help warm us and boost morale after climbing through the night.
On the summit of Kilimanjaro we hugged each other, enjoyed the views and took plenty of pictures and even made a few phone calls to loved ones back home.
It was a true test of endurance for most of the crew, and I'm really proud of everyone.
We descended back to high camp, where we had a quick lunch, repacked and then continued further down the mountain to our final camp in the thick warm air at 10’000ft, where we just finished another fine meal prepared by our gracious staff. Now it’s off to bed for some well deserved sleep.

Hey Team,
You made an unbelievable climb and a great (albeit tough) decision.
Can’t wait to hear the stories from Neil Yoder! “Family Time” has been very quiet here!
We are so proud of you Neil, and all the rest of you who we will hear all about.
