The Rainier 9000: Summit to Paradise Ski Descent

With the return of spring weather to Washington (no rain?!) the conditions in the mountains went from sketchy to primed. After allowing a few days for recent snowfall to settle or slide it was time. Ditching the 90 degree heat in Seattle, two buddies and myself decided to have a go at Rainier on Thursday Morning. We pulled out of Seattle at 6am on Wendesday and headed South to Rainier. After securing climbing permits and sorting out all our gear we left the lot around 10am. The temperature was easily in the 50โ€™s as we worked our way up to Camp Muir. For anyone who has done that tour [โ€ฆ]
