What an amazing experience! Fun, safe, encouraging. I couldn’t quit smiling. The team was great, and the guides brought out the best in everyone. A transformative experience, and one I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. Training for this climb changed my life, and standing on top of the world for a few moments changed me forever. Truly grateful!

I could not thank enough to our RMI guides and team members who contributed and shared this lifelong memories. I really enjoyed the stores behind each climber on why dreamed the summit of Mt. Rainier and how to take efforts to make the dream become true.
I know I made a right choice to pick RMI as my guide service. I will definitely refer RMI to my friends for future mountaineering adventures.

I thought I made the correct decision to choose RMI and I’m so lucky with professional guides Pete, Felipe and Celeste, they led us 100% submitting successfully and led us back safely. A few words can’t express my grateful to their dedication and patience. At the mean time I met such amazing teammates and we all worked hard together to make our dream come true!

I could not have asked for a better guide team to lead us to the summit. This combined with a fun group of like-minded climbers made our summit experience fulfilling. I had the chance to be part of Ben, Tatum, Ariana, and Felipe team. They took great care of us throughout! Together this group demonstrate strong leadership and getting us back safely to the ground. Kudos to what you all do and keep it up! 100% success rate is rare and we did it!!

As I said when the guides were handing out certificates, I’ve wanted to climb Mt. Rainier since high school. I was too sleep deprived and tired and didn’t say much else. Now that I’ve at least gotten some sleep and have reflected on it, I want to say that accomplishing this lifelong goal was made all the more magical and spectacular because of all the wonderful team members I got to know and climb with, and the exceptional guides, Pete, Felipe, and Celeste that took our team to the top. Their patience and positive outlook only added to a spectacular event that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
