Ovr40, Hopefully you'll get more direct feedback from those that were there. From previous climbs of Rainier I can tell you that observation of a typical pattern the weather is following might help. For example, last year on a three day climb we observed the same pattern every day whereby early AM through late morning the mountain would be socked in. And each afternoon it would clear up nicely. So if you have a good handle on what you're seeing, and the forecast (such as no strong system moving in), you could be fine carrying on. Of course there's the risk of misreading the weather, and many would prefer to be more conservative. Best of luck!

Alright, so tomorrow's a new month already---if it wasn't obvious from the post, that's my mistake and it should be 10/1, or tomorrow.

Friday I'd like to get out and climb some 5.8 to 5.9ish crack routes at Castle Rock or elsewhere. I live in Seattle; we can sort out the details later tonight or Friday morning.

Yes Dru, quite a lame effort. Now that I've amassed the inertia to overcome my forgotten password, I'll make more of an effort. I sure have benefited from the knowledge and feedback given on this site and should contribute some myself.

Climb: Maude-NF Date of Climb: 6/22/2004 Trip Report: Anyone been out on, or had a look at the NF of Maude lately? Wondering what kind of shape the traverse from the Maude-7F Jack col is in? Thanks!
