jackscoldsweat Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 anyone, i'm struggling to find info on what time the white river center opens up for climbers to register during mid to late May. how early/late are they open? is there a way to obtain the register forms necessary before arrival? i'd like to automate this process as much as possible. any info would be much appreciated.

eternalX Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 You can self-register right now. There are no crowds on Rainier at this time. I spoke to the ranger yesterday and he said nobody had even climbed emmons this year yet. more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackscoldsweat Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) how does one self-register half way across the country? is there a form on the link provided? did i miss it? or can this step/process only be done in person during late May? i don't need to reserve any camp site, but i do need to register for a late May attempt at climbing the peak. thanks again, JCS Edited May 5, 2005 by jackscoldsweat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_Husbands Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I think everything you need is the previous link and these two. Mail or fax the form and payment. http://www.nps.gov/mora/climb/climb.htm#perm http://www.nps.gov/mora/recreation/rsvpform1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalX Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 You just sign up in person when you climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climberted Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 keith, we just signed up when we got there each time. BTW I leave tomorrow for aspen, got a bed if you want to come up for indy pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceaxedave Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Depending on when you go (weekend or non-weekend) and what route you want to climb will help you determine if you need to make a reservation (see links on Mark Husbands reply) or if you can just show up and register in person. Make a call to the information center at longmire and the rangers will probably have an answer for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackscoldsweat Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 I've called the rangers. My partner has called the rangers. And each call's answer was different. I was told self registering from the white info center ends on Saturday the 28th of May. While my partner was told that we would need to register with the rangers in person. We plan to show up late on a Weds night. Either sleep in the car or attempt to head up glacier basin trail in the dark after self registering. opinions? let 'em rip!
