@Bronco @JasonG @Alpinfox Thank you all for the information. Obviously this is no simple route. If you have any more websites and sources of info whether it be weather, route updates, and especially reports. That would be greatly appreciated! Again thank you so much! Much more active than my pnw Facebook post. Best, James

@Alpinfox @olyclimber @JasonG @Bronco @aikidjoe Thank you all for the information! I didn't expect this many replies. I don't get many replies on my local Facebook climber group. I must ask, to those who have done Liberty Ridge in the past, could you go through your route. How long it took, when you started, hazards, and just what happened each day. I know I'm asking for quite a bit but I would greatly appreciate it! Also I'm assuming you guys haven't done it in the past couple of years but if you could give your two cents on what the condition might be like now since with global warming speeding up 2015 is nothing like 2025. Thanks Best, James

Hi! I know I am a bit late. But I am intersted in Liberty Ridge as well. I have numerous wi5+ under my belt plus rainier, baker, helens, hood (1 time each). I also am under 25 as a matter of fact. I am considering it this July 2026 given weather conditions and peer reviews. I've asked around and not many do climb Lr. And out of those who do, 99% don't post or update so I have no idea of the condition of the route. I heard with melting it has been even worse! Though I have messaged a couple of people who say they might do it and for them to let me know how things go.
