skyscratcher

I was in the other group with one girl and one guy. I believe I climbing next to Kyle during the lower portion of the Finger. I'd like to thank KK and Kyle for the beta about getting down the Kautz. We were pretty slow, so having that info really helped. We ended up just downclimbing the entire ice portion of the Kautz. Both KK and Kyle mentioned the gully with potential ice and rock fall danger right before the fixed line. We moved through that part at a jog. 5 minutes later a wheel barrel sized chunk of ice came sliding down. We also got to see the brunt of the lighting storm and terrential down pour. Felt bad for the people who had just set up camp. It was my first accent of Rainier, so I was pretty thilled. The views were terrible, must have something to do with the 10 million wildfires in Cali? Thanks again.
