NEWS REPORTER
On July 24, after her third attempt,
University Librarian Deborah Carver
made it to the top of Mount Rainier.
At 14,400 feet, Mount Rainier is
the Northwest's largest mountain,
glaciated and full of crevasses. Only
half of the 10,000 people annually
who attempt to climb Rainier make
it to the top.
John Manotti, Regional Director
of the University's Office of Devel
opment, who accompanied Carver
on the climb, along with three oth
ers, including Carver's husband, said
the ratio of men to women who
climb Mount Rainier is 10 to 1. He
said that he thinks her age makes the
climb even more of an accomplish
ment. Carver is 53.
"I suspect that Deb is one of the
oldest women to climb Rainier this
year," he said.
Carver has climbed the moun
tains of the Cascades, but reaching
the top of Mt. Rainier was some
thing she strove for.
"If you're serious about moun
taineering, it's a must-climb," she
said. "It's the most difficult mountain
to climb in the lower 48 states."
Carver said people come from all
over to climb or to train for moun
tains like Mount McKinley or Mount
Everest.
Carver's husband, John Peggs said
their attempts to climb Mt. Rainier
began 10 years ago when Carver de
cided to climb the mountain with a
couple of friends. At 10,000 feet, the
weather turned bad so they had to
turn back. Last year, Carver made her
second attempt.
"The weather was good," Peggs
said. "But at 13,000 feet, someone in
the group got altitude sickness."
Peggs said the only cure for altitude
sickness was to climb down, so they
turned back once again, just 800 feet
from the summit.
The taste of success came on Sat
urday, July 24, less than two weeks
ago, when Carver and friends
finally reached the top.
Manotti said the hardest part of
the trip was being unable to sleep
before the climb. The group left
from Paradise Lodge at 5400 feet on
Friday night.
"We 'got up', because you really
don't sleep, at 10:10 p.m. and start
ed climbing," he said. "It was a
strategic move because we were way
ahead of the rest of the teams before
they started."
Peggs said they left at night be
cause they needed the snow to be
"If you're serious about
mountaineering, it's a
must-climb... It's the most
difficult mountain in the low
er 48 states."

firm when they crossed the snow
bridges. It was seven and a half
hours to the summit.
Carver said one of the major chal
lenges were the open crevasses,
some of which were so monstrous
that she couldn't see the bottom. "In
one case we had to jump over the
crevasse," she said.
Peggs said that Carver had several
things going for her: She was in ex
cellent shape, and she had good
mountaineering skills and crevasse
rescue experience.
"She was incredibly determined;
there was no way she wasn't making
it to the top," Manotti said.
"Not even a horrendous boot
problem that created a horrible sore
on her leg prevented her from
going up."
Carver said it was tiring, but re
warding to reach the top.
She said it took a couple of days be
fore she could walk up and down the
stairs without pain.
"I always said if I tagged the top, I
wouldn't go back," she said.
But she said once she reached the
top, she became more confident,
and she is now ready for a different
challenge: a more difficult route or a
different mountain.
