Just saw a potential weather window this weekend 4/16 - 4/17 for a summit attempt on Mt Rainier. Not sure if conditions are safe after the incoming storm for the next 2 days. Hopefully the snow becomes hard enough to avoid post-holing by then and less crevasse openings. Me and my partner are planning to do the IG direct all the way up in one push. Plan is to start the hike from paradise around sunset on Friday and reach Camp Muir by midnight , quick break then push to summit sunrise. Forecast is looking good with low winds in that short timeframe but it might change. Ive only ever done Mt Hood and Mt Shasta in winter. For any experienced mountaineer out there , any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
