Presented by Black Diamond, RMI Expeditions and Whittaker Mountaineering.
Black Diamond is the official sponsor of RMI Expeditions.
Founded by Lou Whittaker in 1969, RMI is the oldest and largest guide service on Mt. Rainier and one of the premier mountaineering guide services in the world. Dedicated to teaching and leading climbers from the beginning, RMI has since introduced generations of climbers to mountaineering and built a 50+ year legacy of safe, successful and enjoyable mountain adventures.
Our passion for innovation transforms the way we pursue mountain sports—a heritage that began with a backyard anvil and hammer and continues today, hitting milestones along the way with revolutionary equipment such as the world’s first wire gate carabiner, or our cornerstone Camalots.
From gym to crag, mountain trails to alpine peaks and everything in between, the BD Athlete Team pushes the limits of what's possible with their mind, body and soul.
