What's in a name?
For the Whittaker family, two generations of mountaineering excellence. That's why Summit Haus is being reborn as Whittaker Mountaineering. The Store's original name hails from RMI owner Peter Whittaker;s former "Summits Adventure Travel," which Peter ran with his wife, Erika, for 15 years. The new name better reflects a family tradition of climbing achievement established by Peter, his father, Lou, co-founder of RMI, and his famed uncle, Jim, the first American to climb Mount Everest.
