Roger Goodell has reached the summit of Mount Rainier.
Mountaineering legend Ed Viesturs said Thursday that the NFL commissioner had to dig deep physically and mentally to reach the 14,411-foot peak on Wednesday morning.
Viesturs said the 50-year-old Goodell was choked up after reaching the tallest summit in the rugged Cascade range, a climb he made with Seahawks coach Jim Mora.
In what Viesturs and fellow climbing guide Peter Whittaker called perfect conditions, Goodell and Mora reached the top about 7 1/2 hours after they departed the Camp Muir base camp in the pre-dawn dark.
