Hasn't voted | Did you approach via St Elmo's Pass, the standard Liberty Ridge Approach? On July 19, 08 I talked to a couple of guys near Glacier Basin. They had made an attempt on Liberty Ridge, and said they needed a hockey mask that late in the season.

Hasn't voted | Thank you Ineher,
No we did not use St Elmo's pass. We came from the north side. I forget the name of the parking lot, but you come across the snout of Carbon Glacier within an hour of hiking. Then you continue up the trail to the tail end of Curtis Ridge. Then you get onto the very base, or exposed end, of Carbon Glacier. We were planning to get back via St Elmo's, but the weather was very bad and rainy and we were afraid not finding it. So, we went all the way down Emmons Glacier and down the East side. We got lucky to run into two kind climbers who gave us a ride to the north side of the mountain and our parking lot.

Hasn't voted | The glaciers on Rainier are pretty amazing, and on the north side where this pic was taken they are always on the move. They also get bombarded by rocks and dirt by Willis Wall directly above. We tried to move through this area as fast as we could.
