The Ascend DVD series of summit guides
The Ascend Mount Rainier DVD is an interactive guide to several of the most popular routes on the mountain. Included on this DVD are in depth descriptions of the Disappointment cleaver and the Emmons Glacier routes, including what types of challenges to expect physically of these climbs and what hazards to be aware of on the mountain. You will be able to follow the progress of climbers in a guided party attempting the 14,410 foot summit and experience first hand what it takes to climb to the top, and back down, Mount Rainier.
Your Guide is the world renown mountain guide, Eric Simonson. The Ascend Mount Rainier DVD is full of facts, information and knowledge of several of the most popular routes on Mount Rainier. Join one of Eric's guided groups as they ascend the Emmons Glacier route and share the challenge of scaling one of North America's most challenging peaks.
Eric Simonsons' climbs include seven expeditions to Mt. Everest (reaching the summit in 1991 via the North Ridge route) and notable ascents of Mt. Vinson (Antarctica), Peak Communism (Tajikistan), Mt. Elbrus (Russia), Aconcagua (Argentina), and Cho Oyu (Tibet.) Closer to home are 260 ascents of Mt. Rainier and 16 expeditions up Alaska's Mt. McKinley, now frequently called by its native name, Denali.
With partners, Eric owns and operates International Mountain Guides (IMG) a prestigious mountaineering company conducting expeditions and treks worldwide. Eric also owns and operates Mt. Rainier Alpine Guides, providing mountaineer training, seminars, and guided Mt. Rainier summit climbs via the Emmons Glacier route. A professional guide since 1973, he has personally conducted more than 80 expeditions, more than two dozen to the Himalayas.
