Mt. Rainier, Kautz Glacier

Activity Notes

I only have four permits, i.e. 2 participants, myself, and an assistant; so this will be a very small, select team. Please only apply if fully committed. 

I am looking for at least ICS graduates, preferably some experience on ice. This is a more technical route up Rainier than the DC or Emmons route. There is a short pitch of water or alpine ice, and navigation can be more difficult, as it is a route less traveled. For that reason, I will be looking for experienced applicants. 

If you have not successfully climbed Rainier yet, consider the Disappointment Cleaver or Emmons Glacier Routes before taking this one on. 

I welcome any and all questions. If you think you are on the edge of being qualified, but aren't sure, I would rather you ask than not apply at all. Call or text: (360) 440-9830, or email: dforestation@gmail.com
