Today I completed my fourth "Rainer" for 2018 by adding the 2,000 feet of elevation gain for 2018 to take me over the top of four Mount Rainier elevations. I was accompanied by my childhood friend, John Anderson, who was building up his strength after a long absence from exercise. John completed 2.5 miles of the 3-mile ascent, as he continued to improve his stamina.
