yep - Emmons weather isn't so much an issue unless there's a white-out. I'm wondering a bit about avy conditions though... and yes - saw the thread on the current accident/rescue... Actually, it was some of the comments on that thread about conditions and such, combined w/ all the avy warnings last weekend that led me to finally ask for some opinions from all ya locals ;-)

I'm flying out from Colorado on the 11th and was planning to climb Rainier via Emmons starting the 13th (Sunday). I realize this is still over a week away - so who knows what the weather will do, but with all the recent crazy weather, the high avalanche danger, and the accidents out there, I'm trying to figure out what the conditions are likely to be and if we should make other plans rather than climbing Rainier. Any thoughts or comments on recent conditions would be great! -Allison
