Climbing Mt Rainier - The Disappointment Cleaver

Hey everybody! Took a short break from astrophotography to go climb a mountain! We actually had a time slot reserved in 2021, but had it cancelled and pushed to 2022 due to dangerous conditions.

Our climb up the DC route (7/16/22 - 7/18/22) had spectacular conditions (minus the wind) this time around! The mountain is actually quite dynamic though and the crevasses along the route have changed dramatically since then. Regardless, the heavy pack and glaciers made this easily the hardest thing I've ever done. It was a bit touch and go there on the upper glaciers but we powered through.

I glossed over some of the nitty gritty in order to keep things brief, but feel free to ask any questions you have about how we did our reservations, details of the climb, logistics, or even the video!
