Rainier 2008 Kyle and I climbed 10,118 feet up Mt. Rainier on June 13th.  It took us 10 hours to climb from the lodge at Paradise to the climber's camp at Camp Muir. We spent the night in a small tent at the 9,600 ft. level.  The temperature dropped to below freezing and the winds whipped along at 35 to 40 MPH for most of the night. On June 9th, 3 climbers were trapped by a blizzard climbing to the same place.  They didn't have a tent or sleeping bags to keep them warm so they dug into the snow and huddled together.  By morning, 2 of them had suffered frostbite and severe hypothermia.  The 3rd didn't survive.   We didn't want to make the same mistake, so we took LOTS of safety equipment with us. When the 1st photo was taken, we felt like we were on top of the world.  The top of Mt. Rainer is actually 4,000 ft. HIGHER than this!!! You can see Mt. Adams by the flag.  Mt. Hood is a little bit to the right, and Mt. St. Helens is just over my right shoulder These 2 pictures were taken in almost the exact same location. Kyle and I are standing on about 10 feet of snow.  Lynn and Kyle are in the same spot, but in July, after all of the snow melted.
