Mount Rainier Conditions

The climbing route on Mt. Rainier is typical for this time of the year. Although snow is covering most of the mountain, snowshoes have not been necessary for the approach to Camp Muir at 10,000 feet. RMI is currently using the Disappointment Cleaver route for their climbs. Summit Climbs have been successfully reaching the summit on May 12-13th, 13-14th, and 19-20th.

Summit Congratulations!!!

RMI guide John Lucia, on Tuesday May 16th, summit Mount McKinley for the 10th time. Climbing through cloudy conditions, their team made the summit of North America’s highest point (20,320) in clear skies. Congratulations to John and his teammates. Check out John’s climbing resume at RMIGuides.com.

Brenda Walsh, RMI Senior Guide, early in the morning of May 20th, 2006 summited the World’s highest mountain, Mt. Everest (29,035). Brenda and teammates are currently descending from the mountain’s high camps. Check out RMI’s newly announced 2007 climb of Mt. Everest on their website.
