Stepping off for the climb! The team is strong and ready, however, the weather is up in the air! A cold front is moving in so we could get some weather (on a mountain a rain shower = blizzard) and the most of the snow has melted of the upper mountain which means it is nothing but hard glacier ice! It's going to be challenging, but we will be smart and safe. Comm is sparse so we will update as we can! Mike

The team is gearing up, everybody has been training and now its time to sort and pack the gear and prepare for our Adventure in a few days. We will be giving regular updates about our progress. - mike

Hey, Washington State Area hikers, climbers and adventurers. Help us spread the word on the weekend of 23-25 August. We will be climbing and hiking on Mount Rainier as part of our next stop in spreading the word about PTSD/Suicide Awareness. Please join us in support by downloading and printing our Flag (pdf below) and take it along on your adventures that weekend. Snap a picture and send it to us and we will get it posted on facebook and our webpage!

Lets talk about what works and what does not, Tell us your story.  An experience or struggle during your military service or civilian life after returning home? Your struggles or victory with PTSD, VA or other outlet experience? Family members, tell us your experience  as well, we need to understand better from all aspects. Good or bad, we'd like to hear about it.

The Mountain Goats has several events coming up over the next few months!
