Liberty Ridge Climb

The sharp crest of Liberty Ridge slashes through the enormity of Mt. Rainier’s incredible north face. This is one of a very few routes in the Pacific Northwest that has attained the “classic” status; and it truly earns it. Rising out of the Carbon Glacier, climbing on the ridge is physically and technically demanding for most of its nearly 5,000 feet.
