    WTB: Lots of stuff

    in The Yard Sale

    Posted

    Straight from their website -

    "Each individual participating on a summit climb or seminar MUST have the mountaineering equipment and miscellaneous items listed below. Do not jeopardize your safety, comfort or success - bring every item."

     

    The person I talked to at RMI also said I will be left behind if I did not bring exactly what was on the list.

    Got the parka, pants, and glasses.

    Still looking for a lot of stuff!

     

    Can anyone reccomend good boots/crampons/ice axe ? All will be used for mountaineering and a bit of ice. I'd like to have something that works good for both.

    I am only looking for stuff that is in VERY good condition, with no signs of wear and tear.

     

    I can't give exact sizes on this, but give me what size you have and I will look up the info for each company's sizing. I'm about 5'9, 140lbs, 9 shoes size, and around a 30-32 waist. If you have anything thats wayyy off that, don't bother.

     

    5000 cu or more internal frame backpack

    Double plastic boots

    Sleeping bag (rated to 0º F or lower, no short bags)

    Sleeping pad

    Parka

    Shell jacket

    fleece jacket/pants

    Gaiters

    Headlamp

    carabiners and other climbing hardware

    Ice axe(s)

    crampons

     

    If you can't tell, it will be my first time climbing in the next few months smile.gif

     

    Thanks!

    Looking for a guide up Mt Rainier

    Only 2 so so far, and no real responses back yet frown.gif

    If someone wants to take us up for free, I'm more than willing to pay for all costs, gas, and some new equipment for you like many have suggested smile.gif

     

    I'm also open to other mountain suggestions, it dosen't have to be rainier. We would like to try some ice climbing before we leave too if at all possible.

    A friend and I were planning on going up Mt rainier with RMI, and doing their expedition style seminar. We've heard a lot of mixed opinions on them though. All the other companies I have found are completely booked for this year, so I thought this may be the next best thing.

     

    Were possibly looking for a local to take us up the mountain. Both of us have limited summer rock climbing experience, but no kind of winter experience whatsoever. We would be looking for someone to do something similiar to the rmi expedition seminar for us. Spend a few days teaching us as much as possible, and then spend a few days going up the mountain. We are both mature college students, no drinking or drugs (believe it or not) both in good condition, and plan to do nothing but get in even better condition in the mean time.

     

    If anyone has any opinions on RMI, I'd like to hear them if possible. Or if you'd like to offer your services to us, pm me some details about your climbing experience and a cost of course.

     

    Thanks!

    Chris.
