  2. Did you go up the haystack to the top of Si? I was up on the haystack around 6pm cleaning the 1/4 inch fixed polypropelene knotted line tied to a bush about half way up the right side with a death hitch. It was not a knot I have seen any climber use. Sort of like two half hitches but each side going a differnet way. For my good deed someone left me a cold one in the snow at the top. Very nice as I did not bring any water.

  4. LD was a good trip Paul. We had the place to ourselves the whole weekend. Might be up for a repeat but I'm not climbing any harder than last time.
  5. Looking for partners for Emmons glacier route this weekend. Either one day light and fast or two days is ok with me. Or alpine rock. I can leave Fri pm.
  6. Looking for partners for Rainier this weekend. Weather looks just right. Gib ledges or ? Stuff your glacier gear and sunscreen in the pack and pm me.
  7. I hauled 25 days worth of food and fuel to be able to wait out any weather. Then we got lucky with the weather by heading up W. Butt when everyone else was coming down from high camp. We were away from Talkeetna for ten days. I would have preferred another day at high camp to acclimate but weather dictated the schedule. We came home early and suprised everyone. Lots of folks bail after a couple days of weather up high - and will give you fuel and food they do not want to carry out of camp. Next time I will bring 2 weeks of supplies and try not to use a sled. It also would have been more fun on skiis instead of snowshoes.
  8. Just want to avoid having to arrest a fall so looking for a little experience in a partner.
  9. Partner(s) wanted for Emmons. Other routes considered. Experience required: at least one prior ascent of Rainier by any route. I have been climbing Rainier once or twice a year for the past 15 years so please no spray about looking for a guide. I can go most any time. How about Thurs? Email mbell17@hotmail.com.
  10. I told col. von spankler to order a pitcher of bud or rainier but they gave us microbrew instead. Guess we look like tourists.
  11. I'm tired of lurking all the time. I will be leaving fri pm from Redmond. I have room for one in my truck. Anyone need a ride pm me.
  12. Congrats guys. Swissman and I wished you could have joined us earlier this summer PP. Who wants to do my variation? Up the Hoh and down and out the other side.
  13. I am recenlty free from the man and able to climb weekdays. The grand wall on a nice day would be good. PM me if interested.
  14. Swissman wore his leather boots and I wore montrail trs lowtop approach shoes.
