Climbing Mt Raineer

We climbed Mt Raineer in Washington state, USA. It's a very impressive peak and you can already see it when you're driving downtown Seattle.

Here you see our Basecamp at Schurmann and there were many other climbers. On summit day Bram and I got up an midnight and started climbing at 1.00 We were at the summit at 7.00 with a beatifull surise. But it was COLD! Canadian winters are peanuts compared to this!!!! We summit on the Emmons glacier route wich is the least technical climb to the summit at 4392 mtr. But it was definitely worth our little mini-expedition!! And when we came down the mountain it was summer again and we cheered with a couple of beers in the sun. Well done!

We had again a nice view from the northern Cascades when we did a little alpine route. Raineer is the king! We decided it was time to upgrade our rock trad climbing level so we spend 4 days in City of Rocks in Idaho. It was hot and summer in the dessert. Loved that place!

Now we are close to Gran Teton National Park and we are hoping to get climbing permits for Grand Teton. So you'll find some updates pretty soon.

Cheers now!
