Watch This Before Climbing Mt. Rainier...

- Mt. Rainier is the highest mountain in Washington State and the 4th highest in the lower 48. To climb Rainier you must have skills outside of just being able to suffer - namely crevasse rescue training, how to travel as a rope team, experience at altitude, etc.
This video goes over the things I wish I knew prior to climbing it as well as some things I was surprised about in the climb...

Altitude got me a few times up there, for me I need almost a full day at Muir
Probably the most simple and informative video I've seen on mnt rainier
Hey thank you!
Great info! Attempted a 2 day ascent via DC route same time as you. Permits were super easy to obtain got them 2 nights before. Also make sure you pay your climbing fee before the TH. There's wifi at Paradise but it's easier and reduces stress to do it ahead of time. Besides that I agree with everything else you mentioned!
Love the extra info on this… thanks brother! 🙌
If you want a steep, difficult climb on Rainier, do the Kautz Route. Not tough enough? Try Liberty Ridge. These 2 are way more technical and a lot more steep, you will need ice tools. DC route is not only popular, but the easiest way to get to the summit.
thanks Scott
Edmunds Headwall or Sunset Ridge are good too. It is the "easiest" and "safest" route on the Mowich Face and is seldom climbed unlike Liberty Ridge which is hard to get permits for sometimes.
Awesome vid! Great info👍. Looking forward to next one🙂.
Thank you man!!
No prob!👍 Left a comment on a 2nd older vid. Hope you see it.
Attempting a summit of Rainier in late May 2024 with Alpine Ascents. Coming from the Appalachians I am more concerned about weather at the end of the day. Hope it holds out for a summit attempt. Good video!!
Yeah May can definitely be up in the air still in the PNW. Have fun and thanks for watching!
@@ChadLubinski For sure! We should take a direct route around the DC but we shall see. Thanks for the warm wishes!! If you don’t mind me asking what do you do to prepare physically for expeditions? I do a lot of strength training, rucking, and sprint vo2 max training. I don’t distance run at all. Wondering your thoughts?
Go climbing in Colorado or the Sierras in California the 2 weeks before your climb. This will adjust you to altitude and make the climb go much easier.
All valid comments if you know how to crevasse rescue you can climb Mount Rainier without a guide for sure. Also, I completely agree about the Non technical aspect of it and very much agree about the sun screen/sunshine problem. I’ve never been so burned one time climbing without sunscreen…it was ridiculous! We climbed it five times by five different routes. The best route in my opinion was the longest, the Tahoma glacier route. It starts at 2200 feet and we camped on top, in the crater… that was really Special. also about Mount Hood. I skied off of it twice right off the top via the west crater route which is another great route and a little bit less technical than the pearly gates anyway all good stuff.
Damn you’re inspiring me to do that west crater route. I was also looking at that wyeast ski line on Hood… have you done that one?
@@ChadLubinski on Mount Hood the only lines I’ve skied is that West crater route IMO, that should be the standard route going up, and it’s a nice ski down. It puts you about 50 to 100 vertical feet from the summit via very narrow but non-technical ridge. Would not want to fall off the north side of that! The biggest issue coming back down is finding a place to put your skis on
all good stuff on your channel. Thanks.
Hey Chad. Im brand new to this. I live in idaho about 5.5 hrs from Rainer. Its been a goal of mine for a while. Im thiking either trying in 2025 or 26 sumner. Any advice on laddres? How many on thus MT? Its super unfamiliar and seems hard to prepare/train for. Thanks for this video. Great info.

The DC route is the less technical route, the kautz it is very technical and so is liberty ridge, generalizing that Mt Rainier isnt technical it could mislead new climbers, I have climb the Sierra Nevada in winter with no crevasses and it does require experience to have a successful ascent, I have 9 summits on Rainier in 3 different routes, when people ask, which one is the easy one? my reply is always the same, none of them the technicality my be less in the DC because the guiding services establish the route for everyone so it looks easy and non technical, the reason is that hey did the technical part already which is establish a safe route.
95% of climbers are going to do the DC route on Rainier
@@ChadLubinski but dont tell them that is easy

do u recommend going with a guide then? also how hard is crevasse training?
Yes if you haven't climbed anything like this before. Crevasse training takes a few reps to figure it out completely
@@ChadLubinski have you fallen in one?
The Rainier Guides have a class on crevasse training. It is not hard, but you definitely have to have a teacher who knows what they are doing.
did you apply for the filming permit
wasn't a thing at that time
wtf for real?
