Mt. Rainier

Emmons Glacier Climb, 2008

This year TMG, Inc. applied for, and was awarded a one time commercial use authorization for Mt. Rainier National Park. We are very excited about this new opportunity, and are looking forward to a great trip up Mt. Rainier via the Emmons Glacier Route.

Our trip will begin outside the park on Sunday July 27th. We will meet for an afternoon meeting, gear check and pre-climb briefing. On Monday, July 28th, we will head in to the White River Entrance and our goal for day 1 will be to make it up to the Inter Glacier Camp at approximately 8400 feet. Day 2 should bring us to about 9800 at Emmons Flats. We have allocated day 3 as our first chance to summit, but we also have day 4 as well. We feel that a four day climb will give us the most chance of the proper acclimatization in order to succeed on a climb of this magnitude.

The trip will be lead by Nick Pope, AMGA Certified Rock and Alpine Guide, and will be limited to 3 participants.
