Mount Rainier Collections

Rising 14,410 feet above the Cascade Range, Mount Rainier is where American mountaineering was born — and where generations of climbers still come to test themselves. The mountain’s glaciated slopes and volatile weather demand precision in preparation and gear. As the outfitter built at Rainier’s base, Whittaker Mountaineering has been guiding climbers’ choices for decades, supplying gear that’s proven on this mountain more than any other.

Below you’ll find curated gear lists tailored to each major Rainier route and training program — each one built in partnership with RMI Expeditions and backed by the exact equipment our guides trust season after season.

We try to make our gear lists as dialed as possible, so we sometimes have multiple lists per mountain or location.
