Volcano Climbing

Mount Rainier is visible from much of Washington state and even from Canada to the north and from Oregon to the south on a clear day. That's over 120km. It's  4.4km high, and covered with glaciers and snow all year round, with a crater lake at the top.

This is where you can start your climb to the summit. It takes about three days so don't forget a Mars bar to keep your energy up. From this point I jogged up for about 15 minutes, far enough to reach the snowline but not far enough to exhaust myself.
