With minimal snows during the 2014-2015 winter season, snow levels on the mountain were unimaginably low. All manner of the mountain environment and climbing experience was different as a result. For the JanSport group, the chance to see the USGS summit marker on Rainier’s high point was bittersweet. In nine years of climbing the mountain, I had never seen it. Celebrating the summit, we all paused for a moment in silence and considered what that meant and what lay ahead.
