  1. First time I did it in a day was a week after a 2 day climb, which we figured would take all the mental "where do we go next" speculation that seems to wear on you after awhile. As for the water we took 2 liters to Muir, brewed enough for 2 more liters while getting the ropes ready and eat. Aside from that the next hardest thing for me was the sleep factor. Did it 12 hours RT, DC July. Gear we took (2 person team): One bivi w/ pad MSR stove/2 liter pot Lightweight rope 37m Alpine harness/2 prusik/2 locking caribiners and a few non, belay device and rescue pulley, few slings(each) One picket each Standard jacket/clothing Marmot Eiger pack 2 one liter waterbottles (each) Alum crampons Headlamp/ice axe/helmet (each) Sunblock (very important) Food you didnt have to cook Other stuff (like sunglasses-polarized) TTT
  2. Don't know if this link has been posted, but a coworker sent me this and it's pretty funny which ever side of the fence you're on. Palin parody Hover over and when you get the hand prompt click (turn on sound, to get the full effect). TTT
  3. An often overlooked classic, been up there a few times and want to do the traverse. Good TR TTT
  4. BS- You can see the north face in picture 6, looks very thin. When I was up a few years ago we climbed 3 of the 7 fingers, can't emphasize keep going left enough... TTT
  5. I was just thinking about that when I read the favorite trip reports. Bronco wrote it, several years ago. TTT
  6. Moving to partners, hesitantly. CC.com does not recommend or endorse pirate guiding, just try to hook up with a team that needs an extra. Brush up on glacier travel rope work and crevasse rescue. TTT
  7. Finally knocked the bastard off....
  8. West Seattle has seen several CC stolen off of Tahomas this year.

  13. Good job guys, any carpools going north?? TTT
  14. RG, updated link in weather/conditions link on sticky above. TTT
  15. They must have switched the site around. I had to reset the link for NOAA in Ncascades and Alpine lakes forum a few weeks ago, you can go there too (I know you figured it out already). TTT Here's what I'm talking about
  16. That is a good site, added it to Rainier section. You have to click on the location and scroll down. TTT
  17. Good point and others brought up great selections, for Rainier look at Fuhrer Finger or Ingraham direct, tho not good skis. Coleman Deming good and a better ski. TTT
  18. Cowboy mtn too but below us (A6's), and between Maude and 7f jack 2yrs ago. Wild seeing them before hearing them, really hearing them after they passed by (F-18).
