Castle, Pinnacle & Plummer Peaks, Standard Route

Activity Notes

We will climb The Castle and then, if time permits, either Pinnacle Peak via the Standard Route and /or Plummer Peak. 

Expect a fixed line and a short rappel on The Castle and possibly the same as well on Pinnacle Peak depending on the comfort level of the team.

I plan to camp, hopefully, at Cougar Rock, the night before the climb. Climb team members can either join me at the campsite the night before the climb or drive up early on the morning of the climb. 

Additional Costs: If you choose to camp, plan to split the cost of the campsite. Cost will depend on how many people and cars we have at the campsite.  Vehicle entry into Mount Rainier National Park is $30 per car if you do not have a Mount Rainier Annual Pass or an America the Beautiful pass (i.e, National Park Pass). Note that Mt Rainier Park entrance booths and campgrounds are going cashless as of May 26, 2023.
