Hi, I am travelling around on a climbing trip and i am interested in climbing rainier, but i need a partner. I am in ashland right now and my stay in this area for a bit. I saw your post and thought that you may be interested in going up rainier. here are some qualifactions so you know i'm not bogus:
lead 5.11a on sport, 5.10a or so on trad.
second WI 4/5
soloed several class 4 and 5 apline rock routed on 14eners

winter alpine experience

please let me know if you're interested. I'd love to get up and climb rainier. call my cell at 505.238.8321 or try to email me at explo.eroc@gmail.com. I have no job, no time constraints, but I'd like to maybe climb within a week or two. Let me know. It may be hard to get a hold of me but I'll try my best to check messages and emails. Thanks
Eric
