MT RAINIER ITINERARY
DAY 1 : On our first day, we'll gather at the Paradise Parking Lot at 9:00 AM. Our guide will give us a briefing about the climb. It will take approximately 5 to 6 hours to reach Camp Muir, which stands at 10,188 feet. Once there, we'll set up camp and spend the night.
DAY 2 : After breakfast, we'll kick off our mountaineering school session, focusing on essential skills for safe ascent and descent. This comprehensive training will span approximately 3 to 4 hours. Following this, we'll take it easy and enjoy a relaxed evening, gearing up for our upcoming summit attempt.
DAY 3 : We'll rise around midnight to start on our summit push, it will most likely take about 6 to 7 hours to reach the summit. The return to Camp Muir will likely take half that time, contingent on route conditions. Once we're back at Muir, we'll take a well-deserved break, then proceed to dismantle our camp and initiate our descent to Paradise. From there, we'll drive back to Seattle or wherever your final destination may be.
Gear check and orientation session will be held day before the climb. Further details on the location, will be sent via email. To ensure everyone has the required gears for the climb and talk about Leave No Trace at 2 pm. Please plan to attend as it is mandatory. It will take the afternoon.
