International Mountain Guides Partners George Dunn and Phil Ershler will be speaking at a couple different REI’s this week.
The talks will be geared towards climbing Mt. Rainier…which as you might know George and Phil know a little bit about. George has more summits of Mt. Rainier than anybody in the world having reached the summit 495 times and Phil is second in the world with 435. They are the only 2 members of the 400 Club on Mt. Rainer!
George first summited “The Mountain” in 1969 with Phil reaching the top two years later in 1971.
You’ll find Phil at the Seattle REI (directions) on Tuesday, Feb. 24 and George at the Southcener REI (directions) on Wednesday, Feb. 25. Both events begin at 7pm.
