Our Expedition Skills Seminar on the Paradise Glacier led by RMI guide Jackson Breen spent the week focusing on and developing foundational mountaineering skills while ascending the less traveled Paradise Glacier route to our high camp: Camp Muir. Establishing tented camps, they ascend the Paradise Glacier using the mountain's terrain to learn mountaineering skills such as snow & ice anchors, crevasse rescue, ice climbing, fixed line travel, belaying, and other technical skills. The team completed their week by reaching the summit of Mt. Rainier via the Disappointment Cleaver route.
Congratulations Team!
The Four Day Climb June 10 - 13 led by RMI Guides Brent Okita and Mike Haugen has reached the summit of Mt. Rainier. The teams were walking into the crater rim at 7 am. They plan to spend an hour in the crater and then will begin their descent to Camp Muir. The teams will continue down to Paradise later today and return to Rainier BaseCamp to conclude their adventure.
Congratulations climbers!
Congratulations to the team!! Its so exciting to see summits happening with more frequency! As a fellow team member (in a few weeks), I’d love to know what this year’s route looks like. Would anyone be willing to share your Garmin/GPS tracks? Thank you!

Hello to everyone at home!
Today we had a rest day in Pheriche.
A few of us went on a lovely walk through the village (making sure to stop at the bakery, of course!), some hiked a little ways up the hill behind the village and the Lobuche climbers went to the top of Nangkartshang Peak reaching over 16,600 feet.
Whatever we chose to do, we all got better acclimatized to the altitude before we head higher tomorrow. This team made smart decisions about what their body needed to keep our goals of Everest Base Camp and Lobuche Peak in mind and that’s what any guide likes to see.
We all made it back in time for lunch together at the teahouse enjoying warm rara soup and heaping plates of french fries!
We spent the afternoon having coffee in the warm sunroom, working on puzzles, and even doing a little harness and ascender demonstration for the Lobuche climbing team.
We had a lively dinner followed by some cribbage and Uno. We’re all tucked into our warm sleeping bags with hot water bottles keeping our toes warm and looking forward to our hike to Lobuche tomorrow.
RMI Guide Jess, Sam and team
