re: Watching "The Summit" on Netflix. Anyone else like high altitude climbing?

Heck, even Rainier at 14,410 kills folks every year.
Yes it does. The prominence of the mountain makes it a tough climb. As well as the extensive glaciers and associated crevasses. This is also a climb I want to do. I would hire a guide for this though since my glacier experience is somewhat low.

It's also a premiere surfing location (believe it or not)
This is why I love going to Lake Tahoe. Climbing routes one day and relaxing on the beach the next. Best of both worlds.

I know some good mountain guides. LINK
HQ is in a town a few miles North of here. They also run a climbing school as well as high altitude climbing services.

Did Tahoe last summer with my family. Absolutely awesome to go from the beach to 9000ft in the blink of an eye
Had the opportunity to do Rainier many, many years ago but decided it wasn't for me. My coworkers just did Mt. Adams not too long ago for a reenlistment ceremony on the summit.
