July 25 8-Day Course Summit Success!
Yesterday at 12:30pm we stood on top of Columbia Crest! A great week of challenges and skill building culminated in a strong summit bid. We’re now celebrating over libations in Enumclaw.

7/25/19 Rainier Climb-Disappointment Cleaver
Hey Folks!
Our team made it up to Camp Muir yesterday with beautiful weather. We left Paradise at 10:30am and arrived here at 4:45pm. We got our guests settled into the hut where they slept last night, and then we all enjoyed a decadent burrito meal.
We started our day today at 8am with a blueberry pancakes, eggs and bacon, and coffee, of course . Our team is in good spirits. They are currently doing snow school in preparation for our departure to the Ingraham Flats high camp. We will make our summit attempt early Saturday morning.
Wish us luck!!
Good times had on July 12 Alpine Rock Course
Three days of climbing at Washington Pass made for an epic trip! After a nice day of brushing up our rock skills at beautiful Mount Erie on day one, we climbed 7,806 ft. South Early Winters Spire via the classic South Aretê. Day two was a lovely alpine ridge scramble up Blue’s Buttress on 7,840 ft. Poster Peak. We capped everything off on day four with a summit of the crown jewel of WA Pass – 7,740 ft. Liberty Bell – via the Beckey Route. Good times.
