Rainier pretty darn well… ________________________________________________ CRAIG HILL Published: July 26, 2010 One morning this week George Dunn, his crampons crunching through the snow atop Mount Rainier, likely will make history and it won’t even be the highlight of […]

June 23, 2010 IMG Chief Guide and Partner George Dunn led our second JanSport team to the summit early this morning. It was cold and windy in the early morning hours on Mt. Rainier, but that wasn’t enough to stop them from tagging the top. So if you’re doing the math that make 16 summits […]
