Mount Rainier

At 14,411' elevation, Mount Rainier is Washington's highest summit, and the highest of the Cascade Range volcanoes. It is a challenging ascent via any route. Several popular glacier "walk-up" routes are popular, including Disappointment Cleaver, Emmons Glacier, Kautz Glacier and Tahoma Glacier. The Liberty Ridge route is the classic "hard" route up Mount Rainier.
