Eagle Peak Saddle — Saturday, May. 9, 1998

Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise

Snow starts before the two bridge crossings, but there's plenty of tracks to follow to the saddle. the snow level is low enough to expose some fun boulder problems at the base of the short rock cliff on the way to the summit ridge. The rock wall is completely snow free, allowing for several different easy to moderate 30 foot routes up to the ridge. Plenty of snow along the ridge on the way to the summit.
