Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
On this route you will find more than 5,000 feet of steep (40 - 50 degree) snow and ice. On this route climbers are not summiting from a high camp, rather they are carrying all their gear up and over the 14,400 foot mountain. This adds to the strenuousness of the climb. This route is often referred to as on of the "classics" of the Cascades.
Activity Notes
This is a 2-3 day climb of Mt Rainier through Liberty Ridge. We will climb the ridge in a single push, camping on carbon glacier the night before, and possible camp on shurman if needed.
I am looking for applicants with recent alpine ice climbs (this year). Please email me if you think you are a fit, or keep your profile updated. Excellent physical conditioning is required.
I dont have a date fixed but expecting it to go late june/early july.
