More to follow shortly, but here's the short version:
The entire team made it to the top and back down safely- including two type 1s! We reached the summit of Rainier at 5 am on July 20th, after heading out from Camp Muir (10,080') at around 10 pm the night before. Couldn't have asked for better weather for the three-day climb, and the BGs were stable from the top of Disappointment Cleaver (12,300') onward. Next to my name in the summit register, I wrote:
"...Type 1 diabetic-- summitted for Insulindependence!"
Still in the midst of translating the journey into words, but I'll have it down by the end of the week. In the meantime, a quick thank you to the climbing team and my friends at Black Diamond, Patagonia, Polartec, and Backbone Media for your generosity and support of my climb for iD!
Awesome accomplishment! Can't wait for the story, and the next challenge.
