Mt Rainier 2010!
This blog should have started about 7 months ago in the dreary warm winter months of 2010. That's when the word came out: Mt Rainier- THIS SUMMER. After years...decades even of saying "I should climb Rainier this summer" it was finally time. Training, and more enjoyably gear whoring, began immediately. Climbing my apartment stairs soon turned into springtime wet and cold hikes in the Issaquah Alps. If I had known what was coming on Rainier I would have trained harder...twice as hard...and I doubt even that would have been enough. As the climb drew closer I was filled with doubt. That doubt did not evaporate until reaching the summit cap, 700' below the summit.
