Fresh snow after a few days of stormy weather (Willie Webster)
The weather on Rainier has calmed a bit and the sun is shining today. IMG Lead Guide, Willie Webster, and his team are up at Muir training this morning and will head to the Ingraham Flats Camp this afternoon. A couple of the guides on the trip have ascended ahead of Willie to assess the route above camp to the Ingraham Headwall. We’re hoping conditions are favorable, the weather remains stable, and a summit attempt is in the cards.
We still have opportunities to climb the mountain and/or work on your mountaineering skills for an independent climb:
