<\/a>Little Tahoma from The Flats on Mt. Rainier. (Jason Liburdi)<\/p><\/div>\n
The headline says it all. Our much anticipated 2014 Rainier dates are now available.\u00c2\u00a0 Any further attempts at bribery are futile! (Note: all previous attempts at bribery were also futile.)<\/p>\n
Let’s cut to the chase:<\/p>\n
Winter<\/a> & Denali Prep Seminars<\/a>: Literally a prerequisite for Denali. 4 experienced guides, 8 climbers, 6.5 days of learning\/training\/climbing and generally getting your butt kicked by the winter weather. This program is for you if your eyes are on Denali or you’re just looking for a winter challenge. Included in the price of the program is lodging for your first night in Ashford and all breakfasts and dinners on the mountain. What a deal!<\/p>\n Kautz Route<\/a>: Sweet climbs for the climber with a little (or a lot) of climbing experience. This is the best option for those who’d like to return to Rainier to attempt a different, slightly more challenging route.\u00c2\u00a0 1 day traversing the south side of Mt. Rainier, 1 day climbing the Turtle Snowfield, Summit day up the Kautz Ice Chute and 1 day down to the parking lot.<\/p>\n 3.5 Day Disappointment Cleaver Route<\/a>: A great introduction to Mt. Rainier and mountaineering in general. Half-day orientation and gear check. 1 day to Camp Muir (10,000ft), 1 day training at Camp Muir and moving to High Camp at the Ingraham Flats (11,000ft) and 1 summit & back down day. Heck we’ll throw in some pancakes and bacon at Camp Muir!<\/p>\n 4.5 Day Emmons Route<\/a>: Another great introduction to Mt. Rainier and mountaineering in general. Maybe just a little tougher than the 3.5 day climb but the extra day on the mountain makes up for it. 2 days to Camp Schurman (9500ft), 1 summit day and 1 day back to the trailhead. A perfect climb for the fit individual looking for a little more adventure.<\/p>\n For the more experienced climbers we have more technical programs like the Fuhrer Finger Route<\/a> and Liberty Ridge<\/a>.<\/p>\n Additional programs include: Little Tahoma Seminar,<\/a> Glacier Skills Seminars<\/a>, Mountain Day Schools<\/a>, Advanced Mountain Day Schools<\/a> and Crevasse Rescue schools<\/a> are popular programs for climbers looking to get a grasp of the basic skills needed to pursue climbs on their own.<\/p>\n **Please click here to see our registration forms and process<\/a>.
