Day 1: Leave Vancouver around 3am and drive to Paradise ranger station. Register and begin the 3-5 hour hike up to camp Muir. We will be camping in the snow field.

Day 2: Alpine start around 1am and follow the route across the Cowlitz Glacier aiming for Cathedral gap. Once past the gap we go up the Ingraham Glacier to the DC. Follow along the rocky DC onto the steep Emmons Glacier. Once past Emmons glacier we will reach the crater rim and must hike across the crater to the NW side to reach true summit. Hang out at the summit for pictures and a rest before following the same route back to camp. Another break at Camp and pack up to head back to car. 

You will need all your personal gear for general mountaineering. Ropes, tents, and other group gear can be planned out via the planning forum
