The Success Glacier is a small glacier located on the southwestern slopes of Mount Rainier in Washington. It covers 0.3sqmi and contains 500 million cubic ft (14 million m3) of ice.[2] The glacier is bounded to the northwest by the Success Cleaver and to the east by the Kautz Cleaver.[3] Starting from a steep rocky slope at about 11000feet, the glacier flows southward downhill. At around 9000feet, a small snowfield joins this glacier with the Pyramid Glacier to the southwest. Soon after this point, the glacier joins the adjacent Kautz Glacier at 8600feet.[3] The joined glaciers flow until their terminus at about 6000-2NaN-2. Meltwater from the glacier drains into the Nisqually River.[2]
