JGowans Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Hey, has anyone here circumnavigated Rainier from around the 10,000 ft level? I was just curious if it was possible and what the terrain would be like. I haven't done any real research into it yet... Quote
mattp Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 It has been done and written about many times. A bit of research in the Mountaineers' library ought to get you some pretty good info. Quote
JGowans Posted April 22, 2004 Author Posted April 22, 2004 Thanks Matt.. I knew it had been done many times, but i just wasn't too sure at roughly what elevation people have done it at and what a typical trip might look like. Obviously I need to research it quite a bit more...I'll check out the mounties library Quote
mattp Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 There's also a map that shows the commonly used route. It is a large display map; I've got it at home. I don't remember who published it. Quote
Norman_Clyde Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 There is a good description in Dee Molenaar's The Challenge of Rainier . Quote
Lowell_Skoog Posted May 2, 2004 Posted May 2, 2004 Notes about the sources mentioned above, plus a few more, can be found by following the links on this page: http://www.alpenglow.org/ski-history/subjects/R-info.html#mt-rainier-traverses Quote
