Possible Mt Rainier climb Aug 28-29th

[chrix]

I am an East Coast kid coming out to WA for a course on MT Baker, and will have 3 or so additional days to possibly climb. I plan on renting a car and getting down to Paradise Thursday afternoon. I was going to just day hike up to Camp Muir on Friday, but then I thought why not post to see if anyone wants to head up with me. We could head up to Muir thursday afternoon and go for the summit bid early friday - or try to do it all on friday. I am up for either.

 

If no one bites - I'll just day hike up to Muir.

I'd be up for at least a day hike to Muir, if the weather looks good. I summited Rainier a couple of years ago, and would like to do it again. I have some rope experience (Rainier, Baker, Hood), but would feel better if we could find even more experience.

Another option is hike to Camp Sherman on the east side, then summit via the Emmons/Winthrop glaciers.

I am interested in either route, but I will probably not be able to get off work until late thursday. I'm climbed Adams and Baker, and made two attempts on Rainier so far this summer. Both have been thwarted by weather.
