A sincere THANK YOU to all who responded to my query, I appreciate all of the prudent and well thought-out replies!! After reading your posts, my daughter and I have decided it wouldn't be in our best interest to climb Rainier alone. However, as we both live in "climbing communities" we will have our ears open in hope of finding and joining a group with experienced climbers. Thanks again, Feniantrekker
