Just curious. What became of the assault on Mt Rainier ENS, BoBo, etc??

They decided Rainier was not enough of a challenge, so they headed directly to McKinley. This was back in June, but no one has heard from them since.

I, however, kicked a$$ all the way to the top on 8/9. It was the toughest 14er I've climbed but less physically demanding than most because the guides set a pace that would allow my kids to keep up. Of the 12 paying customers, the RMI guides got 11 of us to the top - my hiking buddy bailed out with achilles tendon problems. Only me and one other guy loved to climb mountains and were really stoked to reach the top. Everyone else acted like they wondered why they were there.

Trip report to follow as soon as I can get my "real" life back on track after 3 weeks of vacation.

Way to go! I'd can't wait to see how much you got to do on your list of NW peaks and hikes. Pictures and report eagerly awaited. Bob
