Here is my trip report for a successful climb that brought six Chemeketans to the summit of Mt Rainier via the Disappointment Cleaver route this last Friday.

Scotty!

We did it! Huge shout out to Scotty for tremendous planning and communication and leadership throughout this climb! Wow!

That mountain is HUGE!!

Thanks Scotty for such a great write up about our awesome Rainier team and our adventures. What a climb!!

That was my 4th time on Rainier and my very first chance to stand at the very peak of Columbia Crest and take a summit photo with our team. I had never been on Rainier with the winds that calm up high. A true gift! A wonderful experience for me! I love our summit team photo!

Gratefully,

Pretty awesome Scott and gang! Way to get it done!

Patrick: sorry about the altitude sickness. It is certainly a thing up there and can be hit or miss on who and when it affects people. Next time!
