Summit Mt. Rainier

As an officer in the US Navy, I have been all over this great planet over the past 18 years of naval service. My name is Jay Rainier. I have put off the #1 item on my list of things to do in my life long enough…It is time to climb Mount Rainier! I am booked for the 4 day summit trip with Rainier Mountaineering for August 2009. I live in Connecticut, so it is difficult to create a training atmosphere to properly get prepared to endure the altitude and conditions of Mt Rainier, but I will be creative. I spent most of 2007 in Bahgdad, Iraq, 5 years on a submarine, 3 years on surface ships and countless other military experiences. I will use these next 5 months to train the best I can and will be ready to summit my destiny!
