I just wanted to say a quick thank you to Cascade Climbers for a great site. I have been watching this thread since page 2 and learned invaluable information about climbing and the camaraderie that you share. While it does take some weeding there is still a lot of good information on this thread and I will be checking back. I will be keeping tabs on your other threads and held on to every word describing the Rainier climb (I am glad that climb had a happy ending!!) Love your sense of humor (cutting my nails has a whole new meaning). ICantClimb - THANK YOU for sharing the other site. It was so refreshing to see so many prayers for the climbers, their families and everyone involved with the rescue. God's speed to all of you. While I don't see myself summiting anytime soon (Dog Mtn fine for me), you all will be in my thoughts and prayers. The rush must be AMAZING, but the jagged little rocks scare the hell outta me!!
