August 13 & 14 marked the first ever
Over the Edge event for Special Olympics Washington!
A total of 127 people stood on the edge of Rainier
Tower, leaned back, stepped back and went Over
the Edge!
The 2010 season of Over the Edge saw phenomenal
success thanks to the courage, generosity and
support of over 120 rappel participants and over
75 volunteers!
Rappellers included, Mike Hattrup of K2, Angie
Mentink and Brad Adams from FSN, Bender from KISS
106.1, Mike Ferreri from KOMO 4 News, Sue Ershler,
author and mountaineer and 112 hard working fundraising
participants!
You’re all FAMOUS! Check out all of the

There were 4 photographers who generously donated
their time to capture the Over the Edge experience
and uploaded over 1,000 pictures that were taken
over the course of two days.
There are two links available to view the pictures. They
have been organized by time both morning and
afternoon rappels as well as staff and volunteer. In
the first link, Ian’s photos encompass
both Friday and Saturday and are in chronological
order.
