re: 3 Day Mt. Rainier Climb- video added to OP

Flying home tomorrow. Pics coming as well as video of trip in a few weeks. A few pics below that were on iPhone

We made summit at 5:45 am this morning after starting at midnight and then came the whole way down. Very tough day. Climbing ice walls and walking across horizontal ladders spanning 8-10 foot crevasses was uncomfortable

Winds were tough with 40-50 mph and all of this in the middle of the night with headlamps. Disappointment Cleaver is appropriately named. Couldn't get pics of rely difficult / tricky/ dangerous part because we couldn't stop moving at all.

Nothing with a battery worked for more than 5 minutes on the summit before the cold shut them down due to battery impact. Got back down to11,000 feet and all worked fine and had good charges.

If you look top center you can see people for a sense of scale


Only two pics from summit


Camp on the glacier




More people in background
