I'm a mountaineer from Munich, Germany, visiting Seattle this week.
I plan to climb Mt. Rainier next weekend.
I already got useful information from
http://www.rmiguides.com/htmldocs/sc_conf_letter.asp and
http://www.summitpost.org/show/mountain_link.pl/mountain_id/117/
My plan is to leave early on Saturday for Paradise, hike up to
Camp Muir, on Sunday tackle the summit via Disappointment Cleaver
or Ingraham Glacier Direct, and return to Seattle the same evening.
Would be good to know if there is a team going on the same date (which
is the only possibility I have before I have to leave again) or there
is anyone who'd like to go with me. I'm a more or less experienced
mountaineer and have done some nice higher-elevation mountain hikes
in the European Alps and around the world, as you might see from my
photo gallery at http://David.von-Oheimb.de/gallery/
