Well, if you&#8217;re very fit and looking to push yourself physically and technically on a non-standard route, then this is the program for you!<\/p>\n<p>The crux of the route, the finger itself, is a narrow chute that necks  down to a few hundred feet across. The steepest part of the chute is  40-50 degrees in angle. Above, the upper mountain eases off in angle and  the final 2,000 feet are a more typical 20 degree slope. Hazards on  this route include the potential for isolated rock or ice fall during  warming conditions so we climb the exposed part of the chute rapidly to  avoid prolonged exposure.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>All<\/strong> participants must have prior alpine climbing  experience either on Rainier or on other major glaciated peaks, and be  familiar with basic mountaineering skills including cramponing in firm  ice and snow conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates: <\/strong>June 7-11 and June 29 &#8211; July 3<br \/>\n<strong>Group size:<\/strong> 4 climbers &amp; 2 guides<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mountainguides.com\/rnr-fuhrer-finger.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">More Info<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 4, 2011 Have you climbed Rainier before &amp; are you looking for a more challenging route?
