Great, thanks for the info ... and the book.
I was wondering if it has ever been tossed around to make self-registration available in summer? Perhaps along the same lines as the solo climb request? (i.e. requiring a pre-requisite amount of mountaineering experience, subject to pre-screening and approval, as with the solo requests)
Thanks again for all the hard work you guys have done up there! (this season especially)

Lurked for a while, first post:
Is impossible to get a good Alpine Start for the standard DC/IF route on Rainier (~2AM)? Some stuff I have read on the blog/NPS site indicate the Gate does not open until later -- 6AM-8AM (and that one cannot self-register in summer, which is ... annoying). So starting the hike to Muir is impossible until the gates open, eliminating a good Alpine start? (during June/July/august)
I've been to Rainier a few times, but always as a follower, and never had to worry about such details. Now, I have some traveling constraints I am also trying to accommodate.
Thanks for any insight you all can provide.

1) .... glissading is risky and dangerous. You will eventually get hurt. Avoid it on Rainier.
(But good times on Hood, Adams, etc )
