| | Date: | Saturday, March 29, 1997 | | Ascent Type: | No Summit Goal | | Point Reached: | Mount Rainier - Nisqually Basin | | Location: | USA-Washington | | Elevation: | 6900 ft / 2103 m |
Ascent Trip ReportWe started at Paradise and skinned up to Panorama Point, where we hit a white-out so decided to retreat. So instead we climbed over Glacier Vista and up into the Nisqually Glacier trench, where we got to almost 7000 feet. From there, we skied all the way down the Nisqually Glacier to the road bridge, where we had left a car. It was nice to get the extra 1500' of ski descent.
