[TR] Mt. Rainier - DC 7/9/2013

Trip: Mt. Rainier - DC

 

Date: 7/9/2013

 

Trip Report:

My buddy Chris and I climbed up the DC on 9 July. Conditions were fantastic, the weather was splitter, and overall the route was not too crowded.

 

As noted on the Rainier climbing blog the route traverses climbers left from the top of the DC. Per usual, the highway is well travelled and wanded. Below are some pictures!
