Nomad75 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kweb Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 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.
