Welcome to Mount Rainier, a majestic peak that stands at 14,410 feet above sea level in the Cascade Range of Washington State. This spectacular mountain has been a source of awe and wonder for centuries, and its rugged terrain has been the subject of many daring mountaineering adventures.


The first documented ascent of Mount Rainier was in 1870, when Hazard Stevens and Philemon Van Trump of the Northern Pacific Railroad Expedition made it to the summit. Since then, hundreds of climbers have attempted to reach the top, with varying degrees of success.

In the early 1900s, experienced mountaineers began to explore the many glaciers and crevasses that make up the mountain. They were soon joined by a small group of professional climbers, who set out to conquer the peak's more formidable challenges.

By the 1950s, mountaineering on Mount Rainier had become a popular pastime for outdoor enthusiasts. The 1950s also saw the development of modern climbing gear, which allowed climbers to push the boundaries of their abilities. Innovative safety equipment, such as ice axes, crampons, and rappel devices, made the ascent of Mount Rainier easier and safer.

Today, Mount Rainier's glaciers and crevasses are a playground for experienced climbers from around the world. There are several routes to the summit, each offering a unique challenge. With a bit of training and the right equipment, anyone can experience the thrill of reaching the top of this majestic mountain.

The history of mountaineering on Mount Rainier is rich and varied. From its first documented ascent in 1870 to the modern climbers of today, the mountain has seen many adventurers take on its challenges. Whether you choose to tread the same paths that were first explored by Stevens and Van Trump, or blaze a new trail, the thrill of reaching the summit of Mount Rainier is something that will stay with you forever.

بنگلہ دیشی شہری سونیا اختر نے 14 اپریل 2021 کو انڈیا کے سارو کانت تیواری سے شادی کی۔ سونیا کے مطابق ان کی تین سال پہلے سارو سے شادی ہوئی تھی اور اس شادی سے ان کا ایک بیٹا بھی ہے۔ سونیا کا کہنا ہے کہ ان کے شوہر انھیں بچے سمیت ڈھاکہ میں چھوڑ کر خود انڈیا آ گئے ہیں۔

اب سونیا نے اپنے شوہر کی واپسی کے لیے انڈیا میں پولیس کی مدد طلب کی ہے۔

سارو کانت تیواری نے بی بی سی بنگلہ کو بتایا کہ وہ سنہ 2017 میں ایک بجلی کمپنی کے ڈھاکہ کے دفتر میں کام کر رہے تھے۔ اسی دوران ان کا رابطہ سونیا سے ہوا۔

سارو تیواری نے الزام عائد کیا ہے کہ سونیا نے بنگلہ دیش میں رہتے ہوئے ان سے زبردستی شادی کی۔ دوسری جانب سونیا کا کہنا ہے کہ سارو تیواری نے ڈھاکہ میں کام کے دوران جھوٹ بول کر اور دھوکہ دہی سے کام لیتے ہوئے انھیں شادی پر راضی کیا۔
