The stalwart team of Ultimate Software leaders met in Seattle on July 30 for an attempt on Rainier. We had a great group and a great time, and though the summit eluded us, we reached our own high point and bring home great memories and new ways of working together, inspiring and supporting each other, and pushing individual and group limits to foster teamwork and leadership.
Helping hands are everywhere!

| Tight is right!...helping each other succeed. |
 |
| Walking down is important!...crampon technique is key. |
 |
| Camp Schurman and the Emmons Glacier route - look for the line going straight up above the camp, that turns left between crevasses to reach 'The Corridor.' From there, as our summit team will attest, the route goes straight up on poorly established steps, until finally cutting right and easing off to reach the saddle between Liberty Cap (R) and the summit proper (L). |

| The view back toward the trailhead from the top of Steamboat Prow above Camp Schurman. the distant lake in the middle of the White River drainage is about a mile shy of the trailhead. Thank goodness for the Inter Glacier glissade! |
 |
| Dawn comes in spectacularly! |
 |
| Check out the red light reflecting off of the glare ice on the lower glacier - a rare sight! |
Reaching our summit...7 am.
Bound for SeaTac and home again!
