Mt. Rainier – Success Couloir
July 9 – 10, 2007
Climbed Success Glacier (East) Couloir from Paradise. Descended via Dissapointment Cleaver. Total climb time, car to car, was 23 hours – a real adrenaline push. This was my 2nd climb and 2nd 1-day summit on Mt. Rainier. My climbing partners were Terry McClain (lead) and Marek Wencel. Approx 10,000’ vertical in 12 miles (one way).
Terry posted a trip report and photos on Mike Gauthier’s website/blog (Mike is the lead climbing ranger on Mt. Rainier). And Marek posted comments at Northwest Hikers. Be sure to see the rest of our Mt. Rainier trip photos. Continue Reading »
