Would love to climb it, most people in the coulee are to lazy to even try something like that, I cant even find people to head up Colchuck Lake with me, so I end up soloing it. Couldn't afford it either, looking at gear and hiring a guide from Seattle $3-4,000 without breaking a sweat. Doubtful an amateur should be soloing that or going without a guide period.
That was very cool.....we watched groups leave Paradise 2 days ago to try what you have made a common event...wow...felt like I was there...and I am not a climber...
I'm planning on doing a Summit of Rainier this Summer, I made a trek up to Camp Muir by myself, and I absolutely CANNOT stop thinking about the summit now. Thanks for this great video, I really appreciate it! Rainier will be my first difficult Summit!

LOVE the enthusiasm at the top by two of the best American climbers ever! Cool to see these guys still getting excited about summiting Rainier.
