Do you guys have any mountaineering experience or just backpacking? It's not clear from your post and I think it is very inadvisable to try Rainier without at the very least thoroughly studying mountaineering texts, practicing techniques a lot, and maybe taking some courses. Its good that you are attempting some less technical climbs first, but its 100% possible to shlep your way to the top of Mt Baker without really knowing what you are doing, and then find yourself in a very bad situation on Rainier.

I don't mean to be patronizing or underestimate your ability or anything, but lots of people have failed to give that mountain the respect it deserves and there are now lots of skeletons.
