Mount Rainier is extraordinary. At 14,411 feet Mount Rainier is the third highest peak in the lower 48 states and arguably the most massive, high alpine peak. We will climb Mount Rainier via the Emmons Glacier for a more enjoyable experience away from the crowds. We also have the option of climbing the Kautz Glacier if a group is committed to obtaining the permits one to two years ahead of time. These routes are slightly more advanced than the standard Disappointment Cleaver Route.
