| GOING UP! |
Rainier, Jake Beren, a birthday, a ten year itch, and great timing!
I have been working on Mt Rainier for ten years, spent winters living on rainier day dreaming. I first climbed the Central Mowich Face with a friend on my first summit of liberty Cap and my Third summit of columbia crest. In the 10 years since that first north side climb I have been on 28 winter seminars 200 trips 110 summits via 9 routes 9 ski decent and have not been back until now.

| Me at 13k above the Disappointment Clever. |
The plan, start leisurely in Paradise climb to muir and then up the Disappointment Clever to the summit in 7 hours, cross to Lib Cap summit 8hr, descend on skis down the NW side and fish our way into the central Mowich Face to ski run dreams are made of, ten years of dreams... To finish we traverse around across a few glaciers to the south and linked up with the Tahoma Creek Trail and fallowed it to the westside road parking area.Trip details: 30km car to car. 10,000ft up 11,000ft down in 13 hours. Tools: Ski Mountaineering glacier day kit.
