It was a big day for IMG on Rainier yesterday, in addition to putting 14 climbers and 7 guides on the summit via three routes, IMG Senior Guide Austin Shannon ticked off his 100th successful summit with a smooth climb of Liberty Ridge! Austin now joins the elite Century Club (100 summits of Rainier) with a small group of other climbers who have dedicated themselves to the mountains and logged the years of experience it takes to reach the 100 summits milestone.
Austin has been guiding for IMG since 2008 and has let trips around the world. He is one of the most dedicated and experienced guides in the U.S. and for that matter the world. We wish him a huge congratulations, and look forward to climbs 101 and beyond!!!
