Our first climb of the Mt. Rainier summer season summited in good form yesterday. A great start to the 2017 season! They report that the route heads directly up the Ingraham Glacier this spring, a desirable option over the normal Disappointment Cleaver.
The team returned to Ashford looking pretty fit after their three day effort on the mountain. Our congratulations to this first successful effort, with many more to come!
