Skiing, climbing, coffee
Raised skiing the frigid hardpack of New England, George developed a taste for bad weather and icy ski descents that drew him to the high mountains of the western United States. After completing high school, George attended the University of Colorado in Boulder while developing his climbing and skiing skills throughout Colorado and neighboring Wyoming. George eventually landed in southeastern Idaho on the edge of the Teton range where he split time between construction work and exploring the multitude of mountains in Idaho, Montana, and western Wyoming. George enjoys all disciplines of climbing but is especially drawn to ski mountaineering for its unique blend of skills. When not in the mountains he enjoys fishing, good coffee, and operating heavy machinery.
The cleaver!

Mountaineering
The Five Day Rainier Climb offers the classic Mount Rainier experience with added time, margin, and flexibility built into the schedule, allowing teams to move deliberately, adapt to conditions, and fully engage with the mountain rather than rushing to meet a narrow summit window. That extra day provides the flexibility to choose the best timing for summit day (especially valuable when weather is less predictable) making it ideal for first-time Rainier climbers and anyone seeking a deeper immersion in one of North America's most iconic glaciated peaks.
The climb begins with a half day orientation at BaseCamp, then a full day of mountaineering school on the mountain, then spends two nights at Camp Muir in the private hut RMI uses — the only guide service with its own shelter there, giving climbers time to acclimatize, refine movement skills, and recover between efforts. Throughout, you climb in small rope teams at a 2:1 climber-to-guide ratio for closer instruction and more individual attention. Before and after the climb, your team is based at Rainier BaseCamp in Ashford, home to the BaseCamp Bar & Grill, Whittaker Mountaineering, and Whittaker's Bunkhouse.
