Our first training hike on the Mountain. We went 4 miles round-trip up to 7,200 ft. It was our first hike using plastic boots and on the snow! See videos of us sliding on our butts!

FROM: The Fundraising Director, Charlie
June 1st

In the month of May you raised $104,000 which is wonderful and your total fundraising as of May 31 is at $255,000 which is ahead of last year’s pace (and we set a record last year). You are awesome fundraisers and we here at ALAW (and everyone in Washington who breathes) are sincerely grateful for your efforts. 

The Encouraging Letter
So many people have been encouraging as they are learning about our Climb, telling stories of their own adventures on Mt. Rainier. Here are excerpts from an encouraging letter that you might enjoy:

"We were awakened by our guides at midnight to discover a full moon lighting the mountain...
I can still see the sparks from my crampons scrambling on the lava of Disappointment Cleaver... The sunrise was incredible, starting with the faintest band of deep blue, changing to close, sharp lines of red and yellow, just like the pictures of sunrise taken from earth orbit."

Our friend Ross climbed Rainier in 2003.
