It became a day of brilliant sunshine and blue skies... just what the doctor ordered in terms of restful, easy conditions.

We are sitting in the sun at 11K Camp.

Yesterday we ascended to the top of Pastukhova Rocks at over 15,000ft and enjoyed a nice 3,000ft descent.

The Mt. Rainier Summit Climb teams were walking into the crater rim just before 7:00 a.m.

We're taking a planned rest day today to better acclimate and get strong for our forays on the upper mountain.

We got an early start, up at 12:30am at 11 Camp and got to the airstrip by 8:30am.

We had a very productive and somewhat relaxing day.
