August on Rainier tends to have stable weather, good snow conditions and beautiful views. This week’s Glacier Skills Seminar has taken advantage of the great conditions and spent the last 4 days training on crevasse rescue, rope travel, expedition camping and a whole host of other crucial mountain skills. Glacier Skill Seminars are a fantastic way to start your journey to climbing glaciated peaks on your own. Today this team’s focus shifts from training to summiting as they prepare to leave Camp Muir and head to our high camp at Ingraham Flats for a short night and early wake-up.
Tonight is go time for the team, we wish them the best!
