SEATTLE — According to new measurements, Mount Rainier could have a new summit.
“I went up there on August 28 the first time and I measured Columbia Crest and the southwest rim and I found that Columbia Crest has melted about 22 feet since the last ground survey in 1998 and it’s actually shorter than the southwest rim now," Eric Gilbertson said.
