the summit of Mt Rainier.\u00a0 Over the last week they have put in about 25\u00a0 \u201cguide days\u201d of work to scout, establish and prepare the route so that on Sunday our 3.5 day climb team could do the round trip. \u00a0A big shout out to lead guides Max Bond and Porter McMichael who did 4 days of recon last week, to lead guide Peter Dale and his team that descended the route on Wednesday to get it kicked in better, and to Angie Diana, Maia Critchlow, Jackson Hall, Jacob Barstow and Paal Bredal for putting the finishing touches chopping and shoveling on it the last three days so that lead guide Stuart Johnson and his team could ascend and descend it yesterday.\u00a0 Well done, guides, way to think outside the box!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-28389
