Rainier Over Thanksgiving - Questions
Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2018 8:31 pm
Hey all,
We are planning on climbing Rainier over Thanksgiving via Disappointment Cleaver. Looking for advice and any observations that might be helpful.
Questions:
Is the climbers hut usable during the winter? We are fine tenting it but the hut would be helpful.
Does the Muir Snowfield ever avalanche?
Is there a better route nearby that would be more advisable during the winter?
Thanks in advance.
Erik
