RAINIER SUMMIT
ONCE AGAIN--HIGH AS A KITE ON THE FOURTH OF JULY

Yes, we did. Once again, keeping a sequence going, I stood tall and high on the fourth of July! The year before, it was the Roof of Africa, and this July 4th it was the summit of the most glaciated peak in the 48 states and the only "fourteener" in the Northwest states. it was hard going--I would say, about comparable in endurance to a sub-four marathon with a 10-K tossed in for a chaser.

Add another certificate to the collection--this one was a worthy challenge and a well-bagged peak!
