We have space for 9 intrepid mountaineers on this 3-day climb of Mount Rainier, the most prominent peak in North America and the most heavily glaciated mountain in the lower 48 United States. You will work as a team as you gain 9,000 feet of elevation to attempt the summit at 14,411 feet, learning technical skills such as how to use an ice axe and crampons in the process. No experience is necessary; all you need is the desire and determination to meet the challenge of the summit while supporting a great cause!
You'll be supported every step of the way by our dedicated team of volunteers and professional guides. We will share our expertise in fundraising and physical conditioning, and assist you with gearing up for your climb adventure.
