My daughter and I would love to climb Mount Rainier this June but realistically can't afford the per person cost of a guide service. While we don't have a lot of experience, we have climbed Castle Peak, Mount Borah and many other peaks near our home in the central mountains of Idaho. This past June we had the great pleasure of standing together on the summit of Whitney, after having to scramble up the snow-ice chute to the right of the switchbacks. This is the ONLY time we have been on ice with crampons. So....being of sound mind (she is) and if we were to use extreme caution, would we be foolish to give Mount Rainier a try? If so, are there any resources where we could find an experienced group that is climbing, that we could join? All suggestions are welcome, and Thank You! Feniantrekker
