Mt. Rainier

Dissapointment Cleaver – July 7

Great climb everyone.  Im phyched we had a chance to climb during the day, it makes the three day climb on Rainer way more enjoyable.  Its allways lucky when route conditions, weather and group abliity lines up to make it an option.  If anyone wants higher resolution photos give me a shout.

Enjoyed the photos?  Feel like tipping the photographer?  You can me up on Venmo @Ben-Markhart.  Or send it to the AAI office. As guides a big part of the income we count on comes from tips and they are greatly appreciated. Follow me on Instagram @benmarkhart or Facebook for a bonus photo.

About this climb

This climb was a 9 day mountineering program with Alpine Ascents International. 

After spending six days on Mt. Baker training and climbing on the South side the program moves to Mt. Rainer to put the skills to work on the Dissapointment Cleaver Route.
