Trip: Rainier - DC

Date: 8/24/2009

Trip Report:
Nice exposure between Ingraham and Disapointmen Cleaver


just pass Disapointment Cleaver there are two sections of fixed ropes and ladders.


easy switch backs after that, and then right before the top there is a narrow snow bridge and a growing crevasse leap


it was a fun time for that route due to the exposure. The guides work hard to keep it safe, but they will probably soon run out of options

Gear Notes:
ice screws are probably better than pickets in many areas

Approach Notes:
there are actualy open crevasses right below camp muir
