Mt. Rainier, WA - Ingraham Glacier Direct
Because certain factors can't be predicted (e.g. weather, conditions), the date of this trip can only be approximate, it may move in either direction, not unlikely on a very short note (1-2 days prior to the actual trip). As long as "confirmed list" is empty, consider this trip as "standing-by".
* Original plan via Emmons Glacier route had to be dropped due to closure of White River Road.
Itinerary
Day 1 - meetup, obtain climbing permits, bivy at Camp Muir @ 3,082 m (or Camp Comfort, Ingraham Flats @ 3,383m ).
Day 2 - climb, return.
Not a guided trip
