The Mt Rainier climbing rangers maintain an excellent blog about route conditions on the mountain. Info comes from ranger patrols and climber reports. Here is the latest on DC: http://mountrainierconditions.blogspot. ... -2014.html

I climbed it this past Thursday-Friday. Great snow conditions, only two exposed crevasses on the route, and fixed ropes protecting the exposed traverse on the cleaver are already in place.
