To_The_Top

The solution is to meet your girlfriend while climbing. Cuts out a lot of that pre climb fighting and post climb silence. TTT

Tom Robbins RULES I am currently reading the fountainhead- Ayn Rand Wow fountainhead would be a good read, along with atlas shrugged. I am reading "Kiss or Kill", actually rereading it. TTT

for Bush!

yeah this is the part that scares me...someone w/no international experience making these decisions The part that scares me is it isn't REALLY GWB who is making the decisions, rather he almost reports them after they happen.

I may be Joe_Retard with a dog , and thanks for the fun with the slow guy. I am slow and time for bed. TTT

Hahaha.... if we make enough cash, we could set up in the crater on Rainier.... (wow, i think i'm taking this too far......) I have taken Rainier beer to the top many times and tried to get those gung-ho at Muir to drink it at the summit for photo-ops and have had few takers.... It tastes better at 4K than at 14K I would take beer to the summit of any mountian if it got drunk at the top. TTT

TTT, if you bring enough to share/sell I'll give you 10% of my cut! No way--50/50 and then we share! cc.com hike of Si is a good thing TTT

To The Top: Google said:"To" is a very common word and was not included in your search Ok now tothetop: Tons of posts at rec.climbing from this imposter, I am not from Denver! and I never have posted on rec.climbing Others: tothetop also be skilled. ---tothetop So my co-worker started climbing in the gym recently and decided to try outdoor climbing. I took him tothetop Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for From: "To The Top" tothetop: Is there a al-anon NG? I can't find one. If you know of one, please send me the link or addy. Thank you very much. tothetop tothetop "To The Top" <tothetop@c.net> But they didn't do any DC. Wait a minute, some of the haze is wearing off. They DID do a DC I cant go on.......... TTT

I got there relatively early - 7ish, so I caught the gaper show on the way down. It wasn't just the plastics and giant packs some of these folks had, but full alpine regalia complete with helmets, ice axes, and one dude with - I shit you not - wands!! .. but hey, if I wasn't such a gaper myself I would have been somewhere other than si. LOL...man, Si cracks me up. It's always good for a laugh. I ran up last week during the pouring rain and saw all sorts of madness. One guy had these giant ass 36" alaskan powder style snowshoes strapped to his pack. I guess he needed them for the 6" of slush up on the summit! Worked! Supposed to be unemployed. People on Si crack me up....Me fanny pack-them big back pack-"Hey you dont have the __ essentials" Last time up a few weeks ago it was many plastics on parade. . I say instead of carrying water up there carry beer (in cans).

Do you mean shooting cracks as you were walking on it, meaning they opened across the slope that as you were on it(run the other way!) or cracks in the snow that were already there? Joshk, where is shot 8? Which side of Alpental? TTT

It may stink that there are no updates at this time of the year because, well not very many people go up in winter. The route is up to you, and maybe post a trip report after you do it. Like CBS said look at trip reports in the Rainier section. There is little beta at this time of the year because you will make the beta, and be careful. Glad to see that you check the sites already and I realized that there are no updates on the route but at the MRNP site does give you insight on what to prepare for, everything on how to register to what to prepare for. If you want to know how to get ahold of someone that is up there alot, pm me. TTT

The Ingraham Direct would be the way to go, or Gibraltar Ledges route might be a go. I would think the DC would not be in. It has snowed 4-7 feet since I was near that area a few weeks ago (I only went to Muir), and the DC would probably be out, but you can access the route above the cleaver. Dont underestimate the crevasse situtation because it is winter, the snow bridges may be dubious and you may not even know you are on one. The glacier moves all the time, so even though it has snowed it doesnt necessarily mean there are no or strong snow bridges. My only best peice of advice is to hook up with someone with good experiance on glacier travel (unless you do) and pick a really good weather window as it gets really bad up there at this time of the year. This site updates every day on the conditions: weather on Rainier . Also expect to be alone on the mountain with no easy way up. Here is the local climbing reports put out by Mount Rainier National Park: MRNP climbing . I would plan on having backup plans at this time of the year, as previously mentioned about the avalanche forcasts check here: NWAC . TTT

Lowell, Thanks for the post. I wish I could have gone, but unemployed and thats a lot of cash. Oh, yah go JERRY! TTT

Yah, try going across the border with someone with a DWI conviction on the way to Squamish. Nice TR, more of a story, long but fun read. TTT

You said feet?
