On Not Taking June Lightly

Rainier is a foreboding mountain. One that, even in June, should not be taken as trivial.

Every year someone dies up there. It is really sad. I know first hand because one of my classmates died on Rainier in a similar situation---freak blizzard. That was 6 years ago, Memorial weekend.

It boggles my mind that the thought of death doesn't cross people's minds, or that if it does, they consider the adventure to be much more fun than potentially deadly.
