Roman2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Hello, I am planning a trip to summit Mt. Rainier the weekend of 8/4 of 8/11. Since I do not have experience with Mt. Rainier, I would like to go up it with someone who has. The intended route is an ascent up the Ingraham Glacier/Disappointment Cleaver. Thanks! Quote
stoehnercd Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Hey there I havent climbed Rainier yet but would be happy to give it a go with you. I was scheduled to climb the DC route this weekend with a friend of mine who has since disappeared. Let me know.. Quote
stoehnercd Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Just looked at some info regarding the DC route that suggested the DC route was done for the season. Too bad...alternative route perhaps? Quote
Roman2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 I would think Emmons Glacier would be an alternative route. They say it is more scenic than DC as well while avoiding some dangers at the same time. Quote
cms829 Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) As per mikes blog the DC is in fact impassable as of this past weekend. The choice route goes below the DC from the flats and up the emmons now. http://www.mountrainierclimbing.blogspot.com/ Edited July 31, 2007 by cms829 Quote
