Climbing Rainier: Not for the Meek

Climb the Grand Teton? Done that.
Paddle the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park? Yep, been there.
Wriggle through sections of Mammoth Cave on my belly? Uh-huh.
View the world from the top of Mount Rainier? Uh, no. Not yet. It's on the to-do list, but not sure when I'll get it checked off.
Fortunately, others have. And they've come back down to tell about their trek. To read one tale from one who's been to the summit, check out this story from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
