The annual Fall Flight went off without a hitch earlier this week on Mt. Rainier. We successfully flew up several cylinders of propane, a new floor to our Weatherport and a few other odds and ends. IMG Partners Phil Ershler and Eric Simonson, who combined have been to Muir over 1000 times, couldn’t be kept away – they were hands on with the installation along with IMG Guide Luke Reilly.
Hard work no doubt, but I think there was more fun had than anything. Give these guys a chance to roll their sleeves up and get after it and they’re as happy as can be. You gotta love it when the owners are first in line to get to work. George will go up this weekend and give their craftsmanship a once over as he heads uphill on his second climb this week. 506…507… Good stuff!
