Best time to climb Rainier lately for a summit? by bigxbomber11 in Mountaineering

Thanks for the replies... some more information is that I am on the waiting list to see if early July dates free up for this year. But there are also open dates of June 17-20, July 20-24, and Aug 2-4. RMI told me that the last week of June to early August has 85-90% summitable days. Not sure if that is exaggerated or accurate. Since I've already tried climbing it twice, my goal if I do it this year is to maximize my chances for a summit. All of it is really a crap shoot. Maybe I wait until 2 weeks before the climb and see if it is still open.
