New Fastest Known Time for Mount Rainier: Up and down in 3h 51min 40sec

June 9, 2014 By Stano Faban 4 Comments

This is pretty much old news now but for various reasons we have not been able to cover it for you yet.
In short, couple of days ago, SkinTrack contributor Eric Carter was able to set a new fastest known time (FKT) for the ascent and descent of Mount Rainier via the usual Disappointment Cleaver route. The previous record was held by brother Andy and Jason Dorais using skis as well.
For the long story you can head over to Backcountry Magazine article – http://backcountrymagazine.com/stories/reign-rainier-carter-resets-speed-record/
