Distance 2 Vest - $150 Distance 6 Vest - $180
One trip up and down Washington’s iconic Mt. Rainier is 18,000 vertical feet, or what our guide partners at RMI call just another day at the office. While we relentlessly test all of our products here in Black Diamond’s QC Lab, when it comes time to prove those findings out in the field, we lean heavily on RMI’s guides to put our equipment and apparel to work in their backyard lab—a field-testing grind that can’t be replicated. Eighteen thousand vertical feet per trip, around 120 trips per season. That’s more than two million vertical feet of field testing per season. If there’s a failure point, they’ll find it.
For over 50 years, RMI Expeditions has led climbers of all levels on Rainier’s iconic routes. Whether you’re aiming for your first summit, building expedition skills, or training for bigger peaks, they offer a full range of programs led by professional mountain guides committed to safety, challenge and adventure.
