Not only was the all womens rope team a unique aspect of this trip, but also each of the women in the group have had very successful careers. The group of women was organized by the CEO of outdoor retailer REI, Sally Jenkins. Joining her was a former astronaut, the leader of a health care foundation, 2 doctors, a scientist and a writer!
Leaving behind their urban lives, they joined together on an all-womens rope team, and 5 of 7 made the summit of Rainier! Congratulations to them! Check out the article here.
