Circumnavigation and climb of Mount Rainier, USA - 2008
Stuart Lansdale, a 17 year-old from Dorset, is participating in
an unsupported expedition to circumnavigate and then climb Mount
Rainier (14,411ft) via the Emmons Winthrop Glacier, the largest
glacier by area in the USA.
Mount Rainier is an active cascade volcano encased in over 35
square miles of snow and glacial ice. Stuart also plans to canoe for
seven days through the wilderness of Bowron National Park, during
which time he should see plenty of wildlife from black bears to
moose. The JWCT helped fund Stuart’s efforts with a grant of £400 in
February 2008.
