4-day climb of the Emmons route. Summit on day 3 (Saturday) and leisurely hike out Sunday morning. Some thunder and lightning Saturday night and fog and brief snow storm Sunday morning added some interest. The glissade of the Inter Glacier is not to be missed!

Early-season conditions were no match for this group of excellent climbers!
With blue skies, on the warmest day of the year thus far, seven of us paddled around Mercer Island and enjoyed clear views of Mt Rainer.
Early season conditions made for a slow and difficult day, but spectacular views made it worth our while. Classic type-two adventure for a gorgeous PNW weekend.
Moderate backpack with great views and easy access.
