Eventually I do want to climb Rainier, but maybe someday I'll have the experience to do it without paying for a guide.
Many of the greatest American alpine climbers have trained on Rainier. Mexcano volcanoes aside, I'm seeing words like "introductory" and "prep" and "experience". You can't go wrong with RMI and the Whittakers.
