First time I reached top of Mt Rainier in 2011, but success should be nailed down, so in July 2013 I repeated the climbing by same rout, but in other company.
White River moraine:
Lupines blooming just below the glacier:
So many people planned to climb Rainier, that we could not get permit for camping on Camp Schurman, but only on the ridge above the Inter Glacier.
To the camp place:
Tent, supper and sleep.
At 3 am started our way to the summit.
Sunrise catched us up on the middle of slope.
Snow
Trail
Crater:
On the summit we saw beautiful unusual thing, but it worth the separate post.
Time to go down.
Ridge with our camp:
Glacier:
Flowers blooming on 3000 meter with glacier around them.
Lunch, packing and way to home.
It was beautiful climb without any problem. Nothing to talk about 🙂
