Summer Climb

[Nomad75]

I have a question tht may be foolish, but I will ask anyway.

If I am attempting to Summit the last week of July, first week of August, what clothing would be recommended? ie...how many layers? Plastic boots etc... I am very familiar with summer and winter climbs in Colorado, never been to the NW. I appreciate any guidance you may give. (hate to carry the "extra").

 

Thanks

For my summer climbs up Rainier, I wear a lightweight long sleeve shirt (Railriders Eco-Mesh), fleece jacket (Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man), soft shell jacket (Marmot DriClime Stretch). And pack a down jacket.

For my legs..... mid weight tights, nylon shorts (or zip off pants) shell pants.

I use LaSportiva EVO GTX boots. Have never worn plastics.
