"Rainier"
Five people have died trying to summit Mount Rainier in the last year alone.

As a school principal in the Puget Sound area, Doug has often been tempted by the towering summit of the mountain.

Now, join him as he presses his physical and mental limits on one of America’s most notorious volcanoes, Mt. Rainier

“Because of its crevasses & unpredictable weather, climbers use Rainier to train for climbing Mount Everest.

Near the summit, when most of us were struggling for breath in the thin air, a couple came strolling by like it was a walk in the park. It was Göran Kropp & his wife. At one time, Kropp mountain biked from Sweden to Nepal, then climbed Everest.

Kropp died a few months after our passing in a rock climbing accident in central Washington.”
