Some pics from our recent journey to the top of Mt Rainer...click on the pic to make it larger.
Here's the route (from RMI website) - our goal. Approx 4,400 from Camp Muir to the summit. We went with a guide service (RMI) so we would make it back alive.
Anothe pic of the route from Guither's book. We are following the Disappointment Cleaver route.

The goal. We had blue bird skies the entire time. This is taken from Paradise - still had lots of snow.
We spent some time on the slopes around Paradise for climbing school. There was another team across the way (look at the little specs)
Another shot of our goal.
Prep for our climb to Camp Muir (5400 feet to 10000 feet) where we stay for the evening.
