Rainier Emmons route mid June gear ?

[grant862]

there are 3 of us climbing this route for the first time, we planned on each carrying a ice screw...what do you think - is that needed? or do we need them at all? And roughly what length if you think we should carry some.

 

thanks

Screws on the Emmons are typically not necessary. You're better off carrying pickets instead.

agreed, pickets are all you will need.
