91 YEAR OLD WOMAN HIKES TO CAMP MUIR ON MT. RAINIER

Last Wednesday June 29, 2016 Bronka Sundstrom 91 hiked unassisted from Paradise to Camp Muir and back to Paradise, an extraordinary achievement given her age and the difficulty of the climb.
Her companion on the journey “Sobo Hobo” asked her to wait so he could rest near Moon Rocks.
“It was a tough and dangerous journey,” Sobo Hobo says, “and Bronka performed excellently.”...
“We had a wonderful time,” Bronka says with a smile.
Bronka Sundstom is a legend at Mt. Rainier, being the oldest woman to summit the formidable peak, which she did at the age of seventy eight.
“We stopped several times so people could have their photo taken with her,” Sobo Hobo says.
Bronka hiked over fifty times to Camp Muir in one season with her beloved husband Aki, now deceased.
Bronka is a concentration camp survivor, having endured the horrors of Bergen Belsen during the Second World War.
She shows that not only can people survive unspeakable suffering, they can go on to achieve great things.
