6. The Best & the Worst
Since this is an admittedly subjective guide to the peaks of Mount Rainier, following are our favorite and least favorite climbs in this guide. They are in alphabetical order, not in rank order. The list is based on our global reaction to the peak and its approach. Our least favorites are colored largely by negative factors—primarily brush bashing and/or lack of views.
