SEATTLE (AP) - Seahawks coach Jim Mora, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and local mountaineering legend Ed Viesturs plan to climb Mount Rainier.

The Seahawks and NFL announced Tuesday that Viesturs will lead the climb for charity up the 14,411-foot peak on 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 scheduled to be on the climb are Seahawks chief executive officer Tod Leiweke and United Way CEO Jon Fine, among others.

Mora, the former coach of the Atlanta Falcons, grew up in the Seattle area and is in first season replacing Mike Holmgren as Seahawks coach.
