Anyone been on the nisqually for serac climbing lately? I've never been down there, but am interested to know if the glacier is in good shape for that? Also hoping to get on it for a basic glacier rescue skills day.

Great report. Too bad the route is going to be gone soon. It's always looked like a nice way up the mountain.

Oh yeah, sorry for being lazy. Idiot moment. I forgot to check USFS site.

Also, is Cloud Cap trailhead open?

Looking for beta for the North Face route, as well as any other north-side routes: Elliot, Cooper. Anyone been up there the last few weeks?

Seems a little late season, but it looks like a fun route to me if its in good condition. When the weather eventually turns nice, let's see if our schedules line up. I ski and Liberty Ridge is on my list as well. Here is my email: Tk421@thatcherkelley.com

Trip: Mount Baker - North Ridge Climb, Coleman Ski Descent Date: 5/17/2016 Trip Report: I wrote up a report/journal. Instead of rewriting it here, you can just click the link to visit my website. We climbed the North Ridge and Skied the Coleman. It was a fantastic climb and 5 star ski descent. Lot's of photos too. Trip Report-Journal Here Enjoy

Still looking for a Liberty ridge partner, but I'll lower my standard if anyone is interested in climbing/skiing Emmons route. Hit me up if interested Thursday-Friday Tk421@thatcherkelley.com

Looking for partner/s for Liberty Ridge next week between Tuesday and Friday. I'm open to hauling skis up, or not. Email me if interested Tk421@thatcherkelley.com Thanks, Thatcher

Except on skis

Last minute looking for a partner to ski to the tooth and climb it. Route should be clear of snow enough to climb in boots. If your interested text me: 323-219-nine nine one three

Looking for a partner for Shasta on Saturday 4/23. Ski Descent. Let me know if interested: tk421@thatcherkelley.com

Ledges were is great shape. Snow was styrofoam. No open crevasses except one on the Cowlitz going up. A few on the ID going down. More of a journal than a trip report: http://thatcherkelley.com/photography/2016/04/climbing-mount-rainier-gibraltar-ledges/

What's typical start time? I hear of people leaving camp at 5am. That seems late to me, but it's also early season.

I we at Muir yesterday. The ranger said that gib route was closed until the can extract the climber. He's on the ledges or chute or somewhere along that route. I'm sure it will be open by Friday.

Anyone been up Gib ledges lately? Is it worth bringing snowshoes on the upper mountain? or just stick to boots/crampons? Also any beta on descent is welcome. Is descending Gib ok, or is ID the way to go? And what condition is ID in this days? Cadaver vs. Cathedral gap? I'm planning on heading up Friday/Saturday (hopefully they open the route back up by then.) RIP to the climber presumed dead who is still up there. Thanks for any information!

I'll be driving through CA on April 14th and I'm hoping to ski Mt. Shasta. If anyone is interested in meeting me there, email me: tk421@thatcherkelley.com Thanks!

I don't know who has reached the summit this winter, but I'm looking at this week's weather window as a decent chance to make a bid. Probably skin up to Muir Thursday. Then climb gib ledges or ingraham dir. Friday. I don't think I'm proficient enough on skis to summit in them. I'll ditch them at Muir. Anyone interested in joining?

I can't believe I just spent an hour reading every single post in this thread. I'm so bored.

I'm interested but I work Tuesday. I'm available monday, Wednesday, Thursday. I'd be down to try rainier Wednesday-Thursday. I also wanna do a day trip of baker, St. Helens or hood (skiing) and could do any of those any day day but Tuesday. Email me if interested: Tk421@thatcherkelley.com

Most of my free time is on weekdays. Hoping to find some weekday partners out there. I live in Seatac, so Snoqualmie is closest, but I'll go as far as baker for some good skiing. Email me if you're interested in connecting up one of these days. Tk421@thatcherkelley.com

Looking to head up to Exit 38 tomorrow early for half the day. Looking for a partner. Email or text me if interested: 323-219-9913 Tk421@thatcherkelley.com

Looking for partner tomorrow. Eldorado, North Twin, something else? Or we could hit a crag or easy class 5 alpine. I'm pretty new to class 5. But experienced class 3-4 scrambler and glacier/snow travel. PM me if interested. Leave your email or phone number in the PM. Thatcher
