Mt. Rainier, 14,411' Summit, July 18, 2005

With beautiful weather (windy & cool) we summitted Rainier around 8am Monday morning. The conditions were desirable and our bodies were weary. Two days earlier another team had been turned back at 13,200' due to bad weather. With great gratitude and a sense of accomplishment we met our goal.

Here I am with Mt. Adams in the southern background.

The upper shot looks toward the north with Puget Sound visible in the distance.
