Late Summer Route Choice

[Reid]

Let's say you want to climb Rainier around the last week of August because your friend, who is moderately experienced but lacks volcano/big glacier experience, is visiting from out of town and wants to climb it while he still has the chance. Which route would you choose?

 

I'm not completly against the DC, but I've done the route and would prefer something else. Kautz ice chutes is top of the list right now.

Emmons, but check beta/conditions first.

I agree with the Emmons

I did the Emmons about mid August last summer and it was great. We were the only team on it that day.
