![Topping Out on Mt. Rainier Despite NPSs Idiotic Regulations
Mount Rainer is the most regulated mountain in the lower 48. Linus topped out despite the National Parks Service and the corrupt concessioner guiding companies that have monopolized the most iconic mountain in the Cascades. Mount Rainer was Linus 48th U.S. State high point and the 47th he climbed in the lower 48.
