Mt. Rainier
Liberty Ridge


One of the coolest climbs on Rainier. We did it pretty late in the season and, due to routefinding problems had ourselves a little epic. Lots of people screw up on Liberty Ridge, so, be sure you know what you're doing if you opt to climb this route.

Due to the late date, we had some difficulty finding a route to the ridge over the heavily crevassed Carbon Glacier. (Photo by Danny Klima.)
We did, however, find a cool place to bivy on the Carbon.
