NFL group makes it to Mount Rainier summit
Roger Goodell has reached the summit of Mount Rainier.
AP Sports Writer
Roger Goodell has reached the summit of Mount Rainier.
Mountaineering legend Ed Viesturs said Thursday that the NFL commissioner had to dig deep physically and mentally to reach the 14,411-foot peak on Wednesday morning.
Viesturs said the 50-year-old Goodell was choked up after reaching the tallest summit in the rugged Cascade range, a climb he made with Seahawks coach Jim Mora.
In what Viesturs and fellow climbing guide Peter Whittaker called perfect conditions, Goodell and Mora reached the top about 7 1/2 hours after they departed the Camp Muir base camp in the pre-dawn dark.
