During the accent of rainier in the morning at 10 000 feets

during practice glacier rescue at 10 000 feet

This was just the beginning of a long hard day.

Beat down by bad weather, we make our retreat from the ID. It was 3 very long days.

Not quite the summit photo we were hoping for.....

I think around 12,000' on Rainier (GPS was a little wonky) a look back at Mt Adams at sunset. Summited rainier at 1:30 AM (bad snow conditions and super hot during the day) Mid June

sloggin up the id with curt and nick

RMI Rope team below near crevass on Rainier/Glacier. This was on our descent of the DC route from the summit of Rainier (14,411 ft.) - 2 day trip recommended. This was the weather in August. Cheers!

Getting ready to bed down for the night anticipating the summit

This is shot of the stone sleeping hut at camp muir at about 10k ft i believe. This was taken on an OSU(oregon state university) ranier summit attempt.

Another shot at Camp Muir on the OSU summit attempt in 01'.

Tim rallying the troops on the Muir Snowfield at maybe 8000 ft.

Inside of a snowcave at Camp Muir on Mt. Ranier. Oh man that was sure tiring digging that thing.

I climbed Mt. Rainier via the Ingraham Direct route while hiking parts of the Pacific Crest Trail in the summer of 2000. I know, I know, the ladder is poor climbing style (I was considering posting this to the aid section), but we did hike all the way from Canada to get there.
