see my other Mt. Rainier pictures.
Climbing Mt. Rainier with RMI for The American Lung Association of Washington's Climb for Clean Air. I was on a rest break on the glacier above Little Tahoma 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

Incredible photo and experience.
I climbed with Alpine Ascents this past June but 50mph winds prevented a summit attempt. Returning for 2nd try July 2010.

Great shot - love the sunrise light coming in over that bank of clouds around Little Tahoma. And the climbers in red, well that's icing on the cake.

Great image. I was there once, just at sunrise. My camera froze up at about that point. Woke up around midnight at Camp Muir, started climb at 0200, summit at 0700, Paradise Meadows by Noon.

Absolutely stunning! Captures much of what I feel when I am on the mountain.

Fantastic. I was at the park this year but this picture gives a better view than what I was able to see. Congratulations on your climb for charity and also for this great shot.
