Mt. Wow, West Side Road

Activity Notes

This is an exploratory climb. Participants should expect route finding issues, ambiguity and adventurous confusion.  Much of this route is on primitive trails or off trail requiring some GPS / compass navigating.

All applicants should have BCEP or equivalent experience. There is a possibility of some moderately steep snow and/or easy rock scrambling.

6/26: Drive to Mt Rainier National Park in the afternoon. We will stay at Cougar Rock campground the night before the climb.

6/27: Climb Mt. Wow from the West Side Road via Lake Allen.   We should be down in late afternoon for the drive home.
