Josh Lewis Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I'm planning on heading up Rainier pretty soon via the Emmons Route. I have to wonder if it is possible to do Little Tahoma from this route as well. Perhaps if I crossed from Camp Scherman over the Emmons glacier onto the Flyingpan Glacier. Any advice, trip report links, or what ever would go greatly appreciated. Or perhaps this route is not possible? Quote
Lowell_Skoog Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Suggest looking at Google Earth. You may be able to get onto the Fryingpan Glacier from the Emmons, but no guarantee, and you'd have a lot of crevassed glacier to traverse. The two summits are not well situated for a link-up. Quote
JasonG Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 You would be better linking them via the DC. Still, as Lowell says, not a very natural pairing. More like two trips back to back.... Quote
Josh Lewis Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks for the replies folks. I didn't try the idea, although when I was there I saw what looked like a way (for early July). Definitely some crevasse crossing though. Quote
Luzak00 Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 It looked doable, but not wise. We started Little Tahoma from the highway, up through the Summerland camp (~5 miles in on the Wonderland Trail). Quote
Josh Lewis Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Yeah... my buddy was crossing his fingers before we went on this side of the mountain. There is always next time. Quote
