These 4 adorable young men are all from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and will be starting college (LSU) this fall. They have been friends ever since lst grade and now are going to climb Mt. Rainier (then they said they will go to Mt. St. Helens and climb her too). Oh, to be young and single as they were all really cute.. The guy above with the red shirt is originally from Seattle but is now from Louisiana too and does have some climbing experience and the man in the blue shirt and sunglasses is also from Louisiana. They have hired guides to climb with them and teach them "the ropes"....oh that was a play on words~~~! To hire guides is pretty expensive but well worth it to have them all come back home and not getting stuck on that mountain (which has happened a few times already this year).
