Mt. Rainier Climb

My nephew Tom B. is currently on a climb of Mt. Rainier.  As far as I know, this is his first climbing experience.

This is a picture of him a couple years ago at his West Point graduation.

Anyway, he's on a guided climb that is supposed to summit on Thursday (weather permitting).  You can follow him a little bit via this blog.  Mount Rainier Climb Blog  His guide is Casey.

Good luck Tom.  If you get the bug for this stuff, we'll have to put you in touch with our friend Dan in Jackson Hole.

Update - see photo below.  He made it.  And it looks like a beautiful day at the summit.
