| Kiefer Thomas | surprised! Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2009 | |
| We had originally intended on doing the Ingrahm Direct but due to the glacier being too broken up and convoluted, we opted for the DC. It was a bit of a surprise. A highly enjoyable route with some real crevasse issues! A great day with Carl, Marc, Anton & Sean | |

| EastKing | Total Perfection Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2009 | |
| The cleaver was a little sketchy during the daylight (sun heating the cleaver) with the mix rock and snow but was doable. The weather and the experiences were perfect though.I went with a great group of people and looking on doing many more with them. | |

| Vertigo soul | Good Times on the DC! Date Climbed: Jun 23, 2009 | |
| I thought the DC was a good route for my first time climbing Rainier. Not technically difficult, just a long snow slog really! A couple of snow bridges to cross, but overall in great shape....probably thanks to such a good snow year in the Pacific NW, and recent snow fall. | |

| Groundswell | Almost went for big ride | |
| took by friend Adrian 3 months before my wedding. On the way down, he forgot to keep crampons on the snow and went for a slide. I couldnt hold his 200lbs to my 145 lbs but luckily i had buried my ax to the hilt and tied it to my harness as i always do. Guides below on Ingraham Flats watched whole thing. I belayed my friend all the way down to the flats where he took a long "nap" otherwise uneventful trip | |

| Jakester | DC Route Date Climbed: Jun 23, 2008 | |
| Made it past Disappointment Cleaver but a late start, no rest, and an exhausting crevasse rescue seminar the day before all conspired to turn us around at ~12,600. Will be back this summer to try again. | |

| lcarreau | My birth county's highpoint! Date Climbed: Aug 20, 1984 | |
| Randy Sackett was the guide out of RMI. The snowpack and weather conditions were awesome in August 1984. There was a section above the cleaver where we were unroped at the guide's decision. Two climbers had to remain behind at Disappointment Cleaver. The lights of Yakima were seen shining in the east. Great climb! | |

| Great route (except for going through the cleaver), great views, great peace at mind. Just follow the lights of all the RMI and IMG teams. | |

| Clodhopper | Modified route. Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2007 | |
| Couldn't climb onto the cleaver, too late in the season. We climbed down around the nose of the cleaver and up the Emmons Glacier. Very windy, but clear skies. | |

| seth@LOKI | Great "warm up" for damn cold Date Climbed: May 31, 1998 | |
| Though my 1983 overstuffed 15 degree Marmot Pocket Gopher (that I still use!) worked well with a bit of help from a reflecto warmer. We had light loads on ready for Liberty Ridge...maybe nest time Dirky. | |
