“The psychological aspects of alpine climbing are far more difficult to master than the physical. Mental training methods and recipes are specific to each individual. The future progress of alpine climbing resides in the mind. Improvements in physical fitness and developments in equipment will offer only slow & relatively limited advances, while great strides may result from perfecting the minds of a few gifted climbers.”
– Mark Twight, Extreme Alpinism

Equipment

Your package includes everything except equipment. You can schedule to rent your equipment from REI in Seattle, WA or SummitHaus in Ashford, WA or purchase your gear in advance. We highly recommend training with equipment so that you can get familiar with the equipment long before you get on Mt. Rainier.
