EVENT: The Climb for Clean Air

Date: July 24th-27th - Ashford, Washington

 

Captain Keith at the Summit of Mt. Rainier!

 The four day climb began in Ashford, WA with an orientation held by the Rainier Mountaineering Guides and a full day of climb school. The night before the assent up the mountain the climb group gathers for a fireside chat with the infamous climber, Lou Whittaker, who provides tales of inspiration and words of wisdom to help guide them each step of the way. This is an incredible event not just because it pushes the physical and mental boundaries, but meeting amazing people along the way that will become life long friends.
