Mt Rainier Kautz Glacier Two Solo Attempts

Mt Rainier Kautz Glacier Two Solo Attempts

Mt Rainier is one of my favorite mountains and I try to climb it every year. In 2010, during one of my annual road climbing trips to The Cascades (CA, OR, WA) I climbed Kautz Glacier two times, two attempts in a few days. The weather, however, was each time different.

I’ve finally decided to put together some video clips and pictures I shot on the mountain that time and created this trip video report.
