The first DC team of the 2019 Rainier season (Heather Garland)
The Rainier season is officially underway with the first DC climb of 2019 hiking up through Paradise as we speak. The weather looks stable, if a bit warm, with 10,000′ freezing levels. IMG Guides, Jay Lyons (far left) & Ryan Dougherty (far right), summited early yesterday as part of a team that established a route up the Ingraham Glacier. They and IMG Lead Guides, Mike Haft (front left) and Nickel Wood (front right), have excellent conditions and a motivated crew. We couldn’t picture a better start!
Stay tuned for updates!
