A double connection for those of us from ME and NE who also have visited Rainier and its beauty with amazing variety and other similar peaks. We go, hoping and expecting good. When sad times join our happy memories, it stings us hard. What can be said? Hope. Memories. Love. Challenge. Fear. Anger. Compassion. For all. RIP. Climb on.
