Mount Rainier 2009

Rainier 1

Rainier 2

All 12 climbers made it to the top! For six of them it was their first time climbing Mount Rainier. The weather was good for bellow 14,000 feet but at the summit it was cold and windy and there was very low visibility. 3 rope teams went to the summit by different roots. Mr. Brzoska's team went via the saddle between the 2 summits. (True summit and false summit.) The other two rope teams took the direct root to the summit. - AJK
