Back in Houston now. The Rainier trip was excellent! A great combination of learning new skills, climbing activities, and working as a team with new friends. We hit the summit of 14410' at 08:00 (mountain time) 01-July-09.
Here is a summit photo of myself and Luke (former professional bull rider now turned climber). I'll always give credit were credit is due, he handled the climb well despite never being near 14,000' feet before.
A few other pics here, our camp on the Winthrop Glacier and the summit view from it.
Rainier really impressed me. Both esthetically and the technical
challenges involved. Its definitely a place to visit and climb again.
A real gem of the west coast.
Once again thanks to everyone who donated to the Alberta Children's hospital prior to this climb. You contribution is greatly appreciated. sP
