Story

I've joined the 2023 "Climb for a Cause" of Mount Rainier to support raising funds for priority projects (https://wnpf.org/our-priorities/projects-we-fund/) here in Washington's National Parks (Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic)! After moving to Washington in Nov. of 2022, I was drawn to the greatness of Mount Rainier looming in the background and immediately signed up for this climb in order to take on the challenge of summiting this iconic peak and to give back to the National Park's. Please consider joining me in supporting Washington's National Parks by donating to and sharing this page with friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot to myself and the many who use and enjoy the national parks!

Follow along my journey to preparing and climbing Mount Rainier on instagram @mikes_mountain_climb where I'll be posting about my preparation including training, route information, gear list, and mountaineering book reviews!
