Mt. Rainier July 2004

Stumble It!

Climbing with RMI for The American Lung Association of Washington's Climb for Clean Air. I was on a rest break while the guide took someone to a lower party to go back down.

At first I was annoyed, but -- I was able to sit for 20 minutes and watch the sun come up. What an amazing experience. The two guys in red were on my rope team. Little Tahoma below us.

Taken at almost the same time as this one

looks like a good place to sit and think abount things, i bet 20 minutes passed so quickly, why is it that we spend so long climbing mountains to spend so little time atop them?

Luís Vieira says:

it's for moments and shots like this that i understand the sacrifice to get up there. Just curious: altitude and temperature there?

thanks for all the comments!

The height of this picture is around 12,000 feet. The summit is 14,411. During July, the temperature on the summit is often between 20 - 30 degrees F. Lots of wind, though, making it seem much colder.

One of the nicest climbing photos I've seen. The steepness of the climb is evident from the climbers in the photo - that really adds dimension to this shot. Wonderful light highlighting the texture of the ice!
