Chelsea resident Wade Kellogg, 54, and his26-year-old son Matt arent your typical thill-seeking mountain climbers - in fact, its morepersonal and meaningful for the father andson duo, who hope to make it their familyscherished tradition.

Wade grew up in Washington state 26 milesfrom Mount Rainier, named by an Englishofficer of the British Royal Navy, Cpt. GeorgeVancouver, in 1792 in honorof his colleague and friendRear Admiral Peter Rainier.Native Americans hadcalled it Talol, or mother ofwaters, for its abundance of glacial ice andlocation in the River Valley.

An active volcano with a summit of 14,411feet, Mt. Rainier is the highest mountain in

Washington and is referred to my locals sim-ply as The Mountain, planting the appeal ofscaling it in Wades mind years ago.

When I was a kid Id look at Mt. Rainierand now I look at it with a sense of satisfac-tion, Wade said, recalling the physical chal-lenge in comparison to an already difficult

activity like hiking up a hill.

The father and sons climb took three daysand started at Point Paradise at 5,600 feet, withbase camp being established at 11,100 feet atIngram Flats, before reaching the summit atroughly 14,410 feet.

Wades friends Jim Holmes, Ben Bouchardand Todd Bailey made an attempt late last May,but were deterred by bad weather, making thesecond excursion with Matt and assistancefrom Alpine Ascents all the more meaningful.

A climbing attempt such as the Kelloggsis preceded by weeks ofstrength and cardiovasculartraining of the entire body,with some P90x workoutsthrown into the mix. Matt,

being with the International Guard stationedat Selfridge, is no stranger to honing his physi-cality to a fine point, but nobody has an easytime seeing a summit firsthand.

It was definitely a lot more work that Ianticipated, Matt reflected, but watching myfather up there helped. He was amazing, a trueinspiration.
