I was feeling strong after logging some hikes above 10,000 feet, ready for my summit bid on the tallest mountain in the continental U.S.

My Toughest Summit to Date: Mt. Rainier Revisited

An action-packed four days, all set up in a matter of weeks. Despite not being able to climb Mt. Baker, this was still my redemption climb.

My climb of Mount Whitney via the Mountaineers Route is on for June 22-24, 2021. Permits are approved and bags are packed!
