    Looking for a rope team for going up by the end of January. I do have experience but don’t have a team to complete safely. Feel free to reach out at 515-720-3646. Cheers - Jake

    First time up rainier. Incredible experience. Great route but I’d recommend removing your crampons on the descent of the Cleaver.
