Rainier summit
:
Climbing Mt Rainier is a serious undertaking. Just because you exercise regularly (4-6 times per week) does not mean you have the conditioning needed to climb Mt Rainier. Plenty of people who can run a marathon fail to summit Rainier. Pure cardiovascular fitness is simply not enough. You need to be able to ascend 9-10,000 feet with substantial weight on your back.
... Most people will need to train specifically for Mt. Rainier for at least 4-6 months.
