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

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 -
I was just thinking about that when I read the favorite trip reports. Bronco wrote it, several years ago. TTT

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

Great weather telemetry data for trip planning
To_The_Top replied to JohnGo's topic in Climber's Board
That is a good site, added it to Rainier section. You have to click on the location and scroll down. TTT -
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
