Description:

Manuel Stähelin and I are looking for one or two partners to join us for summiting Rainier leaving tomorrow.

https://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/upload/Emmons-Winthrop-Routebrief-2017_FINAL.pdf

The plan:

Leaving Vancouver 7 am on Sunday. Hike to Glacier Basin camp. Camping there Sunday-Monday. Gaining the Inter glacier on Monday and ascending to Camp Shurman. To bed super-early. Wake up at 2 am. Summit around noon. Descend all the way to White River.

You need glacier travel and crevasse rescue skills.

Call 7789292941 if you're interested.
