Last Well will send two teams of eight climbers up storied Mount Rainier in late May and early June 2010. LW Team 1, departs for the Pacific on May 30 with the goal of reaching the Summit early in the day on June 2. LW Team 2 heads west on June 1 and reaches the top for breakfast on June 4. Each team member takes the mission seriously and has a requirement to raise and build support for at least $1500 toward the Last Well goal on this climb.
Mount Rainier is a special mountain. A dormant stratovolcano located 54 miles southeast of Seattle, at over 14,000 feet, Rainier towers over the skyline and is the highest mountain in Washington and the Cascade Range. Mount Rainier is the most heavily glaciated peak in the lower 48 states with 26 major glaciers and miles of permanent snowfields. The three-day ascent up the Ingraham Glacier/Disappointment Cleaver is the most popular climb on the mountain. After a 4800 foot ascent, our first night is spent in a private hut at Camp Muir (10,080 feet). Our second night is in a remote tent camp at 11,000 feet granting better acclimatization, training time, a shorter summit day, and a wilderness experience.
To participate, please download and complete the attached application by January 17, 2010. If you’re still not sure, please attend a Last Well interest meeting on January 17, 2010 immediately following the Frontline service.
