Turned around to look south and there she looms…Mt. Rainier, the massive mountain whose bulk is larger than Everest’s, a peak long, long overdue to reclaim its native names including Tahoma and Ti’Swaq, the Sky Wiper, as Rainier is the surname of a British imperial admiral who warred against the United States back on the North American East Coast. Tahoma soars up to 14,411 feet or 4,392 meters in height. I’ve only stood on its summit twice, been partway up several times, and am overdue for another summit push. Love this monster peak we simply call, The Mountain.
