Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
Activity Notes
We will ascend the East Face route and then descend the south route via a rappel followed by some scrambling. The first pitch of the ascent will be belayed. The second pitch will be a fixed line. From the top of the fixed line, we will scramble as a team to the summit. Expect easy climbing up to 5.6.
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.
