hell yes! great TR and photos! Ive always been interested in doing a route on that side of the mountain.

Climb: Rainier-Emmons Date of Climb: 6/19/2004 Trip Report: Thought I would make a link for Dmiller's trip up the emmons so it would show up in the TR index as he didnt post it as a TR. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/364390/page/0/view/collapsed/sb/5/o/all/fpart/1

grrr...could someone explain how to post a photo for me...

I have been having the worse luck trying to post a picture on a post...

That is what I kept telling myself WTF WAS I thinking trying to keep up with this guy! DMiller is a machine...I learned a lot about what is possible traveling light and setting a strong pace, with some work I hope to be able to keep up with this guy, we have another outing planned for next weekend. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/data/503/5600rainier_007-thumb.jpg http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/data/503/5600rainier_031-thumb.jpg http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/data/503/5600rainier_033-thumb.jpg I took a lot of photos of your descent dmiller, but unless you know what to look for, you just look like another little dot on the emmons.

check your pm's

finger condoms!

do the lithiums work in the cold better? I havent even looked into it. I have had some really frustrating times with my little camera...makes me want to throw it off the mountain when those lights are blinking and the damn thing won't take a photo.

nice, I live a few blocks from there...w00t

im gapin'!!! I cant post a damn FOTO...The pictures are in the photo gallery, where i double posted them all-GAPIN GAPER

I went up the West Ridge of the S. Twin this last winter on Feb. 11th and 12th. Heres some photos...I believe this one shows the NW face of Skookum that you are talking about. we climbed all of the west ridge, but left our packs at the large N. facing col and snowboarded down it on the way back. rode all the way down to the road, then after a short hike, rode all the way back to the car. Great trip!

I am looking for advice on a good route up rainer for a couple novice's. My partner has been up D.C. once, but there are more mountains in the state that we have climbed together. I have been up D.C. 3 times, once up the emmons, and once up the Kautz Glacier route. I was thinking about the Fuhrer, or either the Kautz or Succes clevers, has anyone seen what kind of shape they are in, or have any advice on what kind of climbing can be encountered? We have the 11th 12th and the 13th, but I would like to only use two days. thanks in advance for the advice.

solo STYLEEEEE cool photos; I believe that is the obelisk

F'n Digital camera's! I have a olympus digital, and it hates the cold...I usually have to take the batteries out and warm them up...but who has time for that when your movin. Congrats on the climb!

would you want to part with just the silveretta's? I am poooor...I had a pair of skis given to me and i need some touring bindings...i have been looking everywhere for some used ones...

I have been up there, and the car ride up is a lot more challenging than the climb (i have beer cans over my catalitic converter from this one)...you can see the summit from where you park your car at the end of the road, just head up the woods until you are on the ridge, then follow the ridge to the summit...class 2
