I love, love, love being in alpine environments. I’ve never climbed to the summit of Mt Rainier – but have gone up to Camp Muir at 10,000ft for a fun day hike.

Ryan Mitchell went the whole way up the Kautz Glacier route. They do a great job capturing the adventure of a perfect weather late climbing season ascent by an experienced climber helping a competent learner. Slog slog slog!

There’s lots of great stuff to talk about here for climbers to learn from. His other videos offer lots of other climbs (with references to local climbers you can learn from like Justin) as well as a good approach to life in general.
