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).

SCA as the cause of the fall. I'm sure we'll hear more..
What does SCA stand for?

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...

Who was it that wrote here about his trip up Rainier's DC and he ran into some old dude who wanted to "tag along" because the old dude's partners had abandoned him because he was too slow. The old guy's mantra was "slow and steady", that story was a riot!
I was just thinking about that when I read the favorite trip reports. Bronco wrote it, several years ago.

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

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).

Happy F'n birthday.

That is a good site, added it to Rainier section. You have to click on the location and scroll down.

TTT, I disagree about it boring people. I for one think that when people talk about the classic it is always a good reminder for me, what I have been on the adventures shared with others and future adventure that I need to keep on the list.
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.

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).
Rainier in 1 day
in Climber's Board

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)
