hi all - planning for my rainier depature soon and am stumped on what to bring for pants shells. I own 2 sets.
1) marmot precip (I typically wear these in most trips in the pressies when temp above zero)
2) Mountain Hardware heavier shells - they are gore or conduit - can't remember.
My research tells me Rainier in all probability it will not get colder than zero (and probably not that cold) at anytime we are there. (early aug) and I am leaning towards the precips - but don't want to be missing anything blatant here.
I know a good few folks have done rainier before and was wondering if anyone has suggestions. I probably will end up bringing both - but want to reduce as much weght as possible.
thanks - and yes - I did hear of the 7 rescues there in the past week - that kind of sucks but......
should I bring my crampons and ice axe?? (just kidding)
any other tips more than welcome as well.
