okay, I am a beginner. I made it to base camp on Rainier, but I want to go farther with one other person, I hear this rope will work great for the two of us to tie in together across the glacier. I only need this one rope, not two...right? Thanks

Please don't take any offense to this, but your sheer question shows that you are not experienced to climb Mount Rainier unguided. Get out there and have fun, but do so in a safe manner and in your case, with a guiding service until you have the proper skills.

This would generally work as a glacier rope, yes. It would do pretty well but not without some training! Just being roped up doesn't do you any good if one of you falls into a crevasse and the other cannot self arrest and/or perform crevasse rescues. There are many other necessary tools to have but this is certainly a good start!
