Unicorn Peak, Snow Lake

Activity Notes

This is a standard one-day climb of Unicorn Peak with preference given to Team 5 BCEP grads. This is a great climb for those who want to put most of what they learned in BCEP into practice. We'll have snow travel, ice axe and crampon usage through a steep couloir and a short fifth class rock pitch with a rappel. Remember when we said you could climb rock in mountaineering boots? We'll probably also glissade if conditions permit it. I plan to drive up Friday morning to secure two campsites. Campers can share in the cost. Rainier NP charges a $30 entrance fee so carpooling is recommended. Campsites allow two cars typically. There is overflow parking available.
