There can be some creek crossing shenanigans depending on where you choose to traverse over Tatoosh Creek.

Overview

This is a real classic couloir in the Rainier backcountry. Visible from Paradise Road and the parking lot, this line is usually very tempting.

Need to Know

A helmet for rockfall and an ice axe or whippet might be a good idea.

Description

The couloir itself is about ~45 degrees and about 40-50 feet wide depending on how well filled in it gets. The runout zone at the bottom has been known to slide frequently, so good avalanche conditions are crucial.
