This exclusively women's climb is one of our favorites! This year the ladies team will take on Rainier's second most popular route the Emmons Glacier. While steeper and longer than the DC route the Emmons Glacier offers climbers a straighter path to the top and the most spectacular perspective of just how big some of these glaciers are!
Meet the climbers below, wish them luck and help them reach their goal to raise $1500 for the climb.
The donations will support Seattle Children's Hospital in its mission to provide quality medical care to all children of the Pacific Northwest regardless of their families' financial resources.
