NFL: Goodell, Mora to climb Mount Rainier


Associated Press

SEATTLE — NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Seahawks coach Jim Mora are ready for a big trek — up Mount Rainier.

Mountaineering great Ed Viesturs will lead the climb up the more than 14,000-foot peak July 5. The group hopes to plant a flag at the summit three days later. The climb is to benefit the United Way of King County, Washington.
Also to make the climb are Seahawks chief executive officer Tod Leiweke and United Way CEO Jon Fine.
Mora grew up in the Seattle area and is in first season replacing Mike Holmgren as Seahawks coach.
