Hey hey. Looking to see if some of you can offer me some advice. Starting up the Fuhrer Finger weather pending June 14th. We will have a couple days after we get off Rainier to do some climbing. I have found info regarding Lane Peak and have penciled that in as an objective. Im looking for other like climbs in the area. Either in RNP or pretty close. Or going to do Adams or another peak close by. I havent been able to find much concerning the approach on Adams yet though. Thanks in advance!!!

Congrats!!!!! what a way to propose. good job!

i hit great weather last year the 3rd weekend in June. aside from the wind anyway. headed back to do FF in a couple weeks. starting the 14th

Hey all. Just checkin to see if anyone can tell me if there is a relatively safe area above the finger (east of camp hazard) to set up a tents and spend a night. around 12k on the western edge of the nisqually?

wow that just killed a lot of time at work so far this morning. I love it. may god be with you. lol?

picked up the live wire 9.8

I love em, extremely warm and comfy. Been up Rainier and mount washington with em. and some non tech ice. and they'll be coming up denali with me in May. Im brining a pair of 40 below overboots but doubt i'll need em. I've never had mine molded. Is this something I can do in my oven? at what temp for how long? and do I just slap em on and let them mold while sitting around or should I throw on a pack and go for a walk?

Im am highly interested in the gib ledges route this winter. Im am from jersey, am properly equipped, summited this past june via DC. Obviously it is difficult for me to jump out there right when a weather window opens so careful planning and following forecasts would be my best option. If anyone is interested let me know. Maine-iac.....South side routes are accesible. The road is plowed to paradise.

are the sale products going to be available online?

As per mikes blog the DC is in fact impassable as of this past weekend. The choice route goes below the DC from the flats and up the emmons now. http://www.mountrainierclimbing.blogspot.com/

Hey guys and gals...can anyone point me to the most popular routes to descend St helens and Mt hood on a snowboard this Feb. Comin to climb em and figured I might as well bring the board too. obviously weather and avy permitting at that time of year.

More glacier travel experience. Experience can and most of the time will keep you out of trouble. Except where the calculated risk comes in. Ie: Rock Fall, Ice fall, Weather...etc etc. An experienced climber can read a glacier far better then an unexperienced climber. therefore giving him/her an edge. One could say the same about weather...that a more experienced person can read and predict the weather better. Other then that....I dont beleive there are many skills a soloist can have over a team while traveling through crevassed terrain.

Climb with a partner. The route is well marked but rockfall is a serious concern as are the crevasses. There are some serious crevasses up high getting onto and off of the emmons glacier. They were open weeks ago and navigation through this section right now (from what I hear) is getting more difficult as everything opens up.
