Washington’s highest peak truly earns its place as one of the pinnacles of American mountaineering glory. Standing 14,411 feet, Rainier is the second-highest mountain in the lower 48 and tallest peak in Washington state. This mountain remains the ultimate goal on many climbers’ bucket lists.
This year, we’ll be attempting the summit of Mount Rainier via the Emmons Glacier route. The four-day climb will take place July 20-23, 2025. The Emmons is the largest glacier in the contiguous US and climbing this route requires previous glacial mountaineering experience.
**Signing up for this opportunity includes (and requires) our three-day Glacier Mountaineering Skills Course on Mount Baker beforehand in order to learn and become proficient with crampon and ice axe use, self-arrest, rope team travel, and self-care in the mountains. Available dates are:
July 4-6, 2025
July 11-13, 2025
Fundraising for a Cause and Skills to Last a Lifetime
Kaf Adventures has partnered with the Washington Trails Association (WTA). In participating in our charity Mt. Rainier climb, not only will you tackle Washington’s highest peaks, but you’ll also be giving back to the trails that help get you there. Your tax-deductible fundraising total will go straight to Washington Trails Association’s mission to preserve, enhance, and promote hiking opportunities in Washington state. You will be required to raise $1500 for Washington Trails Association in addition to your climbing fees. A representative from the WTA will provide you with a fundraising toolkit and webpage to help you stay on target and meet your goals. We encourage you to raise these funds to help build community awareness for the WTA mission.
