Should you climb Mt. Rainer with a guide or should you go with an less experienced buddy? Will guides make your climb easier or more likely to succeed? We give you the secrets of what to expect from Mt. Rainer mountain guides. My experience was the that the guides are tied to a schedule that maximizes their profits, but does not make it more likely that you will summit the mountain safely. We discuss the major guiding companies International Mountain Guides, Rainer Mountaineering International (RMI), and Alpine Ascents. Mount Rainer has crappy weather and the biggest factor in summitting success is the weather forecast for your summit day. If you book a place in November in the year prior, you stand a very big chance of not summitting.
Captain Linus Wilson is the author of How to Sail Around the World Part-Time which is available in eBook and softcover on Amazon and in audiobook for all patrons of Slow Boat Sailing at patreon.com/slowboatsailing
