Hey Emalclimber,Im also Army plus climber. Look over the spray coming from some of these cats, i find that most "climbers" are either rich college kids, punks that are trying to "find themselves" or truly outstanding ambitious individuals that have no need to talk shit to prove themselves. Ive been on rainier twice and agree with dane. On patrol you Officers want us to pack for armageddon. wrong answer. Pack what you need, distribute team gear such as one stove, not one stove per each climber"not to insult your intelegence", make sure you got enough gear for crevasse rescue and glacier travel, and get a weather check. Once at Muir, talk to other climbers and make a decision. If you choose to go on up just follow the hord's up the D.C.i.e you dont need 5 2 quart canteens,lol!
