Our 3rd person is not able to make it this weekend. Looking for someone to join us for Glacier Peak, Thursday-Sunday or Friday-Monday. 4 day trip.
We have the group gear needed, tents, etc. My friend is leading, he has done Rainier before and also some other peaks. I have attempted Baker and done other non-technical objectives such as Adams, Helens, Enchantments.
Hey! We're going next weekend, can you please report back with your experience/mountain conditions? Thanks and good luck!
The condies were solid. Depending on where you are camping there are small snow fields just past white pass. Once you get to above 6700 feet the snow becomes more frequent. Mash potato consistency all the way to the summit. There were two small crevasses that are starting to open just right of disappointment peak but very manageable. Cramp ons werent necessary. Soft snow all the way to the summit.
