Description

If you are looking for a grandiose alpine experience, this trip is for you. We are going up to the top of Mount Rainier in a 4-day tour via the amazing Emmons Glacier.

Mount Rainier (4,392 m.), located in Washington, is the highest mountain of the Cascade Range. This large active stratovolcano dominates, on clear days, the southeastern horizon in most of the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area.

Encompassing 26 glaciers, Mount Rainier is the most heavily glaciated peak in the lower 48 states. All the routes to its summit require technical climbing skills and use of crampons, ice axes, harnesses, and ropes. Not for nothing Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes all over the world.

The Emmons Glacier is the biggest glacier in all the contiguous United States. Situated on the northeast flank of Mount Rainier, is often used as a route to its top. This mountain traverse crosses over the Glacier Basin and the Inger Glacer before getting to the highest point of the U.S. state of Washington, and also the highest peak of the Cascade Range.

So, if you want to get to the top of Mount Rainier, please contact me! Let’s get away from the crowds and have an unforgettable alpine experience!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
