I had to return to Mt Rainier a little later with Ian Hodge. We had a great hike and enjoyed some cliff jumping before lunch. It is a lot safer than it looks. Thanks Photoshop!

Eventually we made it down again but not without some well deserved rests along the way. It was a long day, Muir to the summit and back to the car in 23 hours.

After a number of long hours we arrived at the summit and enjoyed a spectacular view from Canada to Oregon.

A week ago I decided it would be fun to climb Mt. Rainier. I called up my Dad and dragged him out of mountaineering retirement and we headed for the hill. We had probably the most spectacular weather ever and a wonderful hike.
