Mt. Rainier, Emmons Glacier

Activity Notes

You will need to be in great fitness for this one! Consider doing multiple other high climbs in the weeks/months prior. I am also going to setup spending a night in the altitude room at Evolution the night before we leave town. Consider spending a night in a high altitude air b&b we me. The basic plan is to spend three days on the mountain. Day 1: hike/climb up to a high camp. Day 2: reach the summit and return to camp. Day 3: descend all the way back to the cars.  The permit cost will need to be shared amongst the team, and you will also need to pay for the Annual Climbing Fee on pay.gov for $68/each.
