Rainier of Terror

In the year 2000 (or maybe it was 2001, I forget which) my brother Doug and I and our friends Richard and John went to Washington State to climb Mt. Baker, some mixed climb in the Cascades which I have forgotten, and Mt. Rainier. We failed on all attempts. Mt. Baker's summit failure was due to weather (way too cloudy), the Cascades failure was also due to weather (rainy, but we were probably overly cautious) and our failure on Mt. Rainier was due to cigarette-related nausea at 13,000 feet (thank you for smoking Doug!) We also had a difficult time working as a team. But it was a memorable experience nonetheless. I shot loads of footage and never did anything with it except edit this highlight reel.
