Having partially recovered from minor back injury, attempted to hike upto Camp Muir today.
Camp Muir at approx. 10,000 ft is the first base camp of the actual Rainier climb. Last time tried this in March and we had encountered blizzard conditions. Today the weather was just perfect and summited . Time up: 5 hrs ;time down: 2 hrs 40 min
We could see the summit of Rainier to the left and the guide shelters at Camp Muir. Will be staying at these shelters during my first camp night during the climb
Saw awesome views from the top of Camp Muir. We were above the clouds
Mt. St Helens in the distance
Also saw a rock fall scare
