Off Season Recreation - Climb Mt. Rainier!!!

On a bit of an impulse, PPL founder Peter Lauer and his Seattle based younger brother, Jonathan, decided to attempt to summit Mt Rainier outside of Seattle, WA. The 14,000+ ft. mountain is covered with glaciers which are in turn shredded by huge & scary crevasses. All it took was 2 other friends, 150' of rope, gobs of other gear, self study, 7 weeks of physical training, and 18 hours worth of climbing / descending to accomplish the mission. An experience of a lifetime - but don't try this at home - it actually is quite dangerous.
