Awesome Adventure 🥾🥾⛰️!!
Doing this in about 31 hours! Any tips? Its my first real backpacking trip ever. Were staying two nights to make it easier. I know some people summitt it in a day, but im a noob. Great vid! Am nervous but excited!
Good luck. It is a great experience. Camp where you’re comfortable. Start early on summit day. Will give you time to adjust to the elevation :) crampons and poles. Most people camp at lunch counter. I liked the area just below. Less busy. Let me know how it goes!!
It was awesome! Weather was great, especially coming down. Wasn't too hot, but wasn't too cold. We camped at lunch counter which was VERY windy at night, but all good. Didn't get to summit it over a few reasons. I did try glissading, and that wasn't the best either, but running down was fun and quick as well. Instead of two nights, we stayed one cause none of us rly wanted to spend another night there. Made it back home to Portland at like 12:00 AM. All in all it was a great experience!!
The camera really does not capture the actual beauty of the mountain
Beautiful!🎉
Do you think it’s safe to do with microspikes? Is an ice axe necessary?
Possibly later when the snow is melted down, there is a 47% grade before the false summit (pikers peak) and it's nice having something secure on your boots, personally I wouldn't. I used the axe on the steep incline but you can get away with poles.
Appreciate the input, thanks!
Can you avoid the snow/ice on steep incline if you choose to go on talus? @@BCMountainLee
Very cool. Eyeing this one in a one-day trip next week, did South Sister and Bachelor a few weeks ago. Ice axe necessary?
could prob do without
Congratulations on your summit! I think we were there the same day. We summitted later than you and the clouds were blocking Rainier at that time, but still an epic experience.
Thank you, you too! That’s cool, prob passed each other lol For sure, it’s a special one! 🏔️
What's with the meters? From Canada?
Ya lol 🇨🇦
That road before the trailhead looked rough. Do you think it is passable with a normal-clearance sedan and FWD?
Yes it’s doable just take it slow over the washouts. I saw lots of 2wd at trailhead!
