Mt Rainier shrinking
Mad Marmot

I'd been having recent email conversations with Sue regarding the Bulger list, and the above article on the revised elevation of Rainier appeared. Gilbertson is a climber, peak-bagger extraordinaire, Bulger finisher, and a techie in the good sense of the term:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=107wfoJrU0k   and  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Gilbertson_(climber) .

Lugging that gear to many of those summits is a task in itself, though it's fortunate that the technology has evolved to where he's not carrying the survey equipment of the analog days! 

Remember that the journey is its own reward.
