Mt. Rainier is always dangerous. I'm probably the only person in the world who climbed within 200 feet of the summit crater and turned around. We were getting socked in and my wife was starting to experience some pretty bad altitude sickness. Okay, that's it and we went down. Glad we did. It can be a scary place.

I have spent dozens of days backpacking around Mount Rainier.

However, when anyone has asked me join them in a climb up Mount Rainier I have always answered, "No, thanks."

There are some things worth dying for : Defending your family. Defending your country in military service.

Braggin' rights about "I climbed Rainier" has never made at the top of my "worth dying for" list.
