Thanks for watching everyone, let me know what climb we'd like to see next! Climbing season is pretty much done across the board, but that doesn't mean we can't hit some winter ascents or possibly south america? We shall see
I've lived in the area for 30 years, been to Rainier many times, and always wanted to summit. But it's probably out of my reach at this point in my life. So thanks for letting me tag along on your journey!
@@InitialJoey I haven’t done it but I have friends who have said disappointment cleaver from camp Muir was the easiest and the best time of year is June. I believe most of the guides take route, too.
I saw your full 5hours Everest video and I thought Ryan would take a rest for 1-2 years and then will do something else. Man, you are amazing. I am 37years old and you are inspiring me, you couldn't even run a mile and you changed your life. I went hiking after watching your Everest video bro. God bless
4:26 The local Puyallup tribe's name for the mountain is "Tahoma", which means "the mother of waters" for the fact that many of the local rivers in the area originate from its glaciers and snow fields. So that ice cold water fall must have been very refreshing.
I remember in 1981 as a Second Lieutenant at Fort Lewis. My Company Commander decided to climb Mount Rainer on a weekend. On Monday afterwards, he wanted to see me but his door was closed and all lights turned off. I did not understand why until I reported to him. He was SO sun burned from climbing Mount Rainer and could not stand any light :) !!! Enjoyed your video, I always loved to drive up to the visitor center on Mount Rainer and do local hikes.
I can relate, my first summit on Raineer was 1973. I wore a net shirt... I looked like I had lay down on a BBQ grill. To top it off I also sun burned the roof of my mouth from the sun reflecting off the snow...lol
I love this mountain, especially since I get to see it almost everyday. It's crazy to think my grandpa climbed it and skied all the way down (took 2 days to climb, and the descent: 2 hours) not to mention the first man to climb Everest trained here at Rainier. What a cool vid to come across in my algorithm 😀
@@norml.hugh-mann It did state in a National Parks magazine that one of the first summited Rainier first. I might not be exactly right, but thanks for the interesting info.
Yes, got back from there two weeks ago and thought the same thing. When you walk past those little pines you’re hit in the face with the aroma of them and it is most intoxicating
That was amazing to watch! Having lived with Mount Rainier in my view for my entire life, and my dad having climbed it in 1963, it was wonderful to see it up close in your video. I love this mountain so much! You guys are awesome. The fact that you recorded so much of it is amazing to me too! Well done and thank you!
I was out in Washington back in 85’ We skied Crystal Mountain and from the top of the south bowl Rainier was literally in our face! That mountain is massive.
great video, super educational for people who haven't done technical ice climbing with all the basics like axes apart from each other to avoid fracturing, knowledge of v threading, etc.
I loved every minute of you & Justin taking on Mt. Rainier at, probably, the unsafest time. You two climbed, as always, with lightning speed!! So inspirational!
It's a lot of fun whenever someone visits Washington for the first time. My Rainier is GIGANTIC on the horizon and always makes jaws drop. It's gorgeous.
Watching your full Everest journey was amazing, then seeing you upload a second climb in my home state had me so pumped! Keep it up, you are an inspiration young man.
@@jordanbrorby8494 He runs a pretty popular Minecraft RUclips channel called Sipover that pays for all of his mountaineering gear/travelling. Idk if he has rich parents but he's explained before that its how he pays for everything. Don't assume.
One of Americas greatest climbers Lou Whittaker who recently passed away lived only 10 minutes away from Mt. Rainier. That Mountain was practice for the big Prize Mt. Everest!
I've done some climbing in my younger days, but the ice climbing here actually makes me a little sick. Terrifying!. Thanks for disabusing me of any ideas I could actually do something like this anymore, or ever for that matter. Your self talk, minimizing the danger kind of talk is vital. Love the positive attitude. Great video!
I've lived in Auburn since 1961. I love our mountain! Thank you for showing it to me completely!! You are a wonderful narrator and climber. So impressed, I subscribed! Can't wait to see the next one❤
People underestimate Rainier all the time. The main thing is the altitude because you're coming from sea level. Compared to a Colorado 14er where you're coming from 7000 ft. Climbing Rainier in 2 days from Seattle is equivalent to a 24 mile marathon. Another thing is that makes its own weather. Storms and high winds come out of nowhere. You get a white out you better be ready to dig a snow cave. People die quite frequently from storms
1) there is no such thing as a 24 mile marathon 2) DC is nowhere near 24 miles so lord knows what other information is coming outta ur ass 3) the main thing that people underestimate is not the altitude or elevation gain. Any well trained mountaineer can read the summit elev and gain (14k, 10k) and prepare for that. People underestimate the glacial terrain, as rainier is one of the few mountains in the lower 48 with a glaciated standard route. Most mountaineers in the US don't understand the full implications of glacial terrain and want to treat it as a regular snow climb. That and weather are what causes problems on Rainier 4) if you're in a whiteout storm and your snow cave isn't dug, it's beyond too late
@@andrewmitchell5807 LOL. Okay it's 26 miles, whatever, a standard marathon is a similar physical equivalent of climbing Rainier from sea level in 2 days. And it's really common mistake of recreational climbers that have done a Colorado 14er to underestimate the altitude. Another thing I've seen on Rainier is a flash freeze, you climb up in soft conditions and then after you summit there's a sudden freeze and your crampons had better be sharp. And you must not have the right gear or lack talent if you're unable to dig a snow cave in the middle of a storm. I've climbed Ranier in the middle of winter and have stayed in a snow cave on Rainier for 3 days straight. I also dug a snow cave on Mount Shuksan in the middle of a March blizzard with 10-foot visibility, so I'm not sure what your problem is, probably dumbassitis.
Ryan, I’ve really been looking forward to this video because I also was fortunate enough to climb and summit Rainier this summer, at only 18. It was my first big climb and after watching you get up Everest I think one day I’d want to climb up there too. My current goal is to climb Denali in the next few years. Your videos inspire me to continue to push myself to climb, because seeing someone my age climb these mountains makes it seem a bit easier. Keep up the climbs!
I flew through Seattle on Monday and realised I need to Rainier after my current target of Shasta. Timing for this video couldn't have been better lol. Keep living the good life and bringing us along for your journey Ryan.
This is an amazing video that you made whilst climbing the mountain, esp so late in the season. Congrats on summiting! Excellent work all around. Your narration was well done too. Thanks for sharing this huge climb.
Great job and my utmost respect. My Boy Scout Troop camped on Mnt. Rainer and getting to the camp site wasn't the easiest thing but we made it. May you be blessed and stay safe.
Love this, bro. Would also love to see a video on planning, logistics, and preparation for a climb like this that’s more accessible here in the states. Maybe some behind the scenes on the journey to the trailhead, getting to where the tent was pitched, etc. I personally wouldn’t mind if it was another hr longer (though I know some would mind). Really enjoyed this vid. Good stuff!
Justin is the man! Glad yall got out. Next you should consider north ridge of Baker (ice climb later in the season), direct north ridge of Mount Stuart (rock climb), Mount Jefferson, or some varied ice climbing routes on Mount Hood. Plenty of rad stuff out here in the PNW!
Hey Ryan, I've been curious about the Rainier climb for a long time and I really enjoyed your detailed POV video, the happy vibes, etc. You're inspiring and a great filmmaker/mtn climber! Keep it up man 🙌
Thanks again Ryan for the great story-telling video on the Mountain that lies less than 100 miles north of me. As a newer old high alpiner, I appreciate the details of the climb (like V ice anchor for rappelling).
Thank you for posting this video. Any curiosity about climbing mountains for fun has been wiped away, no longer does this look like something I would enjoy doing. The whole thing looks like pain and suffering, I'm glad there are people like you who can manage it.

Great climbing/filming boys, enjoyed the heck out of it.
What a great video. It's so nice to see two mountaineers showing the rest of us how to do things right. Great rapport. Was just in the park earlier this week wondering what the crater looks like. Thanks for showing me. Wish I was still 25 and in good shape. Kudos to you both!
Seeing the other hikers ahead of you really helped give a reference for how, vast, high, steep, and far each section of the climb really is. I think without seeing the other hikers as a visual size reference, I wouldn’t’ve been able to fully appreciate the intense altitude gain over “short” distances and how huge the snow patches and glacier are.
Kudos to you for climbing this, but also kudos to you for climbing this while filming and talking. Talking and doing anything that requires exercise makes it even more challenging respect
This was scary to watch, loved it! Thank you for providing details about the terrain, camping setup and bathroom protocol. As someone who wouldn’t dream of doing this,you answer the questions I have. Cheers
Mt Tahoma/Rainier Is beautiful. You guys certainly did not go the tourist route like I did. There is no one up there with yaw. I was on the wonderland trail. Its all beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Truly a classic route. I climbed it in 2006 as a training climb before spending a month in the Andes, which was a good year for penitentes on the steep section, it was like climbing a ladder. Technical tip: you can save a lot of energy when following on ice just by hooking the ice holes left by the leader, instead of swinging the axes. I will say that as mountains go, Rainier is one of the more challenging in the lower 48. You might want to consider Liberty Ridge after you get some more experience, it is like the Kautz route on steroids.
Thank you, you fine young men🫀🫁. I had a few opportunities about 30+ years ago, I’m thinking laziness snatched the climb from me….. my loss. Thanks again for bringing back the memories and observing what I missed, outstanding adventure. Brian O
i watched your 42 days everest climb and it inspired me to go climb mt. fuji for my first mountain climb ever. Mt. Rainier is next inshallah, thanks man, keep making these videos.
Good to see you climbing again, i loved your 5+hr long Everest video, i must say i was very impressed with your attitude and editing skills also. Keep it up man, stay safe. I subscribed after your Everest adventure.
How exciting! Another climb to vicariously live through jajaja I’m way too scared to ever climb like this, but I love the approach & journey you take ! Can’t wait to see more climbs :D
Me and my older sister hiked Mount Fremont, which is right beside Mount Rainier early in the morning and got to the top of the mountain around 5:30 for the sunrise. It was absolutely gorgeous. You could see people climbing Mount Rainier in person was very stunning!
Really nice video. Hiked that comet falls stretch with my wife and son this past summer and really enjoyed it. Didn’t do the waterfall soak. Thanks for posting.
Hey man, I live near Seattle and I've been keeping track of your climbs throughout your jorney. It's awesome see you here in Washington. I've been sick almost a year now, and watching your videos has been pretty inspirational. Makes me wanna really get out there and try something like mountaineering when I get better (hopefully). Maybe we could climb something chill together like Mt. Adams, or Mt. Baker if you're down? aha
I thoroughly enjoyed this - nice job Ryan! I've lived my entire life in WA and always wondered what it would be like to climb this mountain, and you did such a great job capturing the experience, I feel like I was right there with you!
Something like Central Gully in Huntington Ravine, Guy's Slide to Mt Lincoln, or Nippletop Slide would be sweet in the winter. Close to home too, so there's not as much prep involved.
Great video quality, I think this is your best climb yet better than everest. This seems to be more actual climbing. No sherpas doing all the work. Keep doing climbs like your last 3 climbs you posted maybe hit up the north side of Mt Adam's if you're still in the area.
😂😂😂 Ryan ready to drop a log on top on Rainier was the funniest thing ever especially his dialogue 😂🤣 i seen Rainier when i went to Seattle in '22 in the space needle
if anyone is wondering about the bugs, even though there is no flora on the top of the mountain they were probably attracted to their heat and heavy CO2 output (like how mosquitos find us). they probably do that to find the animals like mountain goats up there since other senses like sight would not be as useful :)
Thanks for watching everyone, let me know what climb we'd like to see next!
Climbing season is pretty much done across the board, but that doesn't mean we can't hit some winter ascents or possibly south america? We shall see
do Carstensz Pyramid/Puncak Jaya
Can be climbed all year round
Go for snow leopard
I know they are difficult but I would love to see Matterhorn or Denali haha
mont blanc
Can you climb South Sister in Oregon?
I'm 67 yrs old, and I have look on Mt Ranier every day weather permitting. Total admiration for you two and the mountain. Awesome video. Thank you.
Ditto 😎

Don’t sell your self short. You’d be amazed what your body is capable of
I say go for it anyway! We only live once after all ;))

Nice video. Great, fun, route, did both this and the Kautz Headwall routes - nice change from the popular routes.
4ra with Finch as ambassador is just next level always ensures the best vibe at events
What a sick guide, sick climb, and sick vibes.
Great video once again. Thank you 🫶🏻
Dude, your face looks so much better at the end of the climb
That was grueling my dude. Kudos on the summit!
if anyone is wondering about the bugs, even though there is no flora on the top of the mountain they were probably attracted to their heat and heavy CO2 output (like how mosquitos find us). they probably do that to find the animals like mountain goats up there since other senses like sight would not be as useful :)
