    I'm confused about your route. Isn't the Rabbit Ears to the north of the Sitkum, across the Scimitar Glacier? I came down the Sitkum once and that's what I remember.

     

    One more thing I'm curious about... if you could choose one word to describe the conditions on the route, what would that word be?

    I think you guys climbed the Frostbite Ridge route. I was wondering about that (as you were describing a steep headwall below the summit to me) the other day Geek_em8.gif

     

     

  2. I really don't understand your immature behavior, guys. Now that I'm in my 30s I don't have time for such. I'm busy focusing on my portfolio and net worth, along with physical fitness.

  3. As it is 2:30am, and I get up when ever I damn well please, because I work my own hours- and I turn 30 tommorow (today)- I would like to take a moment to say....

    The Sierras don't have so much in the way of snaf.gif

    either, as far as I've seen. A few pikas, and scrawny little yellow marmots that won't even whistle at you. Our hoary marmots would beat the hell out of the Californians. wazzup.gif

     

    Clearly you haven't had a run-in with a Ring-Tail cat.

     

    I haven't. Do they have those in the mountains? I thought they were mostly down by the Mexican border. I don't think I would count those as snaffles either, related to raccoons aren't they?

    madgo_ron.gifAnybody who's ever bivied on Dinner Ledge has probably gotten well aquainted with the ringtail madgo_ron.gif

  5. Do you want to become a climber, or do you just want to climb Rainer? I got in to climbing(7 years ago, shit I'm getting old) by taking a class with some friends. The class emphasized glacier climbing with the graduation being a summit attempt of the big R. We (me and my buddies) completed the class and all summited Rainer. After the climb none of them ever climbed again. I however, was hooked. The rest is history. So- if you just want to knock off Rainer, I would recomend RMI (save you the time and $ of buying all the gear). If you want to get into climbing- start hooking up with people- meet people on this sight- climb something every weekend- Rainer isn't really that great of a climb.

  6. Damnation Crack-

    I was climbing with a cocky guy who was way better than me-

    he started up it- got really sketched when he reached the chimney and lowered down

    I tied in and sent it! not really that hard technically, but felt good to sandbag him.
