Mt Rainier, Muir route update –
At the end of last week, the Muir route had a large crevasse collapse at around 12,800’. This collapse has caused climbers to not be able to reach the summit. Over the weekend our Director of Operations along with senior guides have been on the Muir Route working on finding an alternative route. Our team was able to find an alternative route and we are currently in the process of making the route viable for our climbers. A group was able to summit Rainier today via this new route. We will continue to have teams of guides on the mountain working on the route.
If you are unfamiliar with the factors that inform our ability to summit, see our Will I summit Rainier tab.
We provide a weekly conditions report. Stay tuned for more updates!
