Looking for Rainier beta

[Monty_Smith]

I'm looking at doing a one-day shot up Rainier later this month. Did it up the Cleaver last month and was surprised at how what good shape the route was in.

Wondering if anyone has any experience in climbing Rainier in late October or recent beta on either DC or Emmons.

thx

I don't have any recent beta, but I have climbed the mountain this time of year. It's a great time to do one of the popular routes.

 

Let us know if you have to trail break through new snow.

 

Freshiezz!!

Hows the Kautz this time of year?

 

When exactly are you goin? Are you lookin for partners?

I was scrambling in above the White River basin last Saturday so I had a good veiw of the upper mountain and was surprised to see fresh snow from 10k up. But I guess its that time of year already. And with the rain we've had since then I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit more.

 

The route, as you might know from your D.C. climb, joins the cleaver route at 13,700.
