I have to admit I had to laugh at the stream of consciousness that ended with a broken leg (luckily that was all!) in a crevasse. I do appreciate the thoughts and am totally stoked for my climb. BTW, Catbirdseat was giving advice to a "guy" of the female pursuasion (as are all of my team).

Next week will be my first attempt on Rainier and the plan is to do Disappointment Cleaver. At this point I am wondering if there is a need for ice screws or is there enough snow for snow anchors everywhere that we may need to belay or do a crevasse rescue? anyone been up there recently? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
