Good to see that other guide services will be able to operate on a regular daily basis and use other 'standard' routes. Other guide services have been able to operate for the past several years, but only for a very limited number of hikes. The first time I did Rainier it was with Cascade Alpine (not listed in the article) and they were limited to a total of 4 climbs that year.
