After climbing Sahale on Sat Aug 2 my friend Autumn and I chatted about climbing Rainier up the DC route. Well the weather gods did their magic and on the Sunday we had a 3 day clear sky forecast for the next 3 days of Mon Aug 4 to Aug 6. So on the Monday morning we were on our way to Rainier. The plan was day one from Paradise to just below Muir, day two to Ingram Flats and day three to the summit and back to Seattle.
The forecast was accurate and we had a nice fun and easy 3 day climb. The route from Ingram Flats to the summit was a great shape. We left Ingram Flats at 1am and made it to the summit just as the sun was rising at 5:30am.
