    Mazama Rappelling Accident

    That's so sad, I would hate to have been one of the two climbers left behind. I did MIR last Friday, great route. It can be rapped safely with a single 70 but I totally understand the impulse to use a double and speed things up. Especially with a group of three.

     

    So sorry for the family/friends' loss. 

     

    Climb on, my man. 

    People's favorite 5.12 climbs

    Howdy! I have done Culture Shock and Rainy Day Woman, looking for some other fun, preferably very long 5.12 climbs to try. Probably going to stick to sport for my hard climbing for now but if there are totally outstanding 5.12 trad climbs I should try, would totally be willing to rehearse the bejesus out of them on top rope.

     

    Thanks for the help!

    Beta for Baker car to car

    Thanks for all the intel. We did it by leaving the car around 1:00am, summited about 7:50, lounged and made breakfast until about 9, back to the car about 1:30. I think our exact round trip including lounging and talking to folks (we saw probably 50+ people on their way in to summit Sunday morning) was 12 hours, 26 minutes. No blazing speed but a fun trip to be sure.

    climb the coleman-deming. it's faster than the easton.

    And more scenic (I've done both Easton and CD car to car), did this several times. Slept at trailhead, took light gear, two waterbottles and fill as you go up. Recommend light rope and glacier gear.

    What time did you head out from the car?

    Mt Adams climb

    I did Adams glacier route about two weeks ago, it's heavily glaciated, not heavily trafficked but probably more advanced than you would be comfortable with. I wouldn't advise is as a first glacier route, you'll want to know how to climb on a rope team, crevasse rescue, steep hard snow, some front-pointing.

     

    The south spur is a hoot, I went mid-week once and our party of 6 was the only one on the lunch counter. I did it once on fourth of july weekend, it was a friggin goat rodeo.

     

    Baker is supposed to be good but one person told me if the weather is lousy in only one place in Washington, odds are it'll be on Baker. He's been weathered out more than once.

     

    My vote: Adams South spur, up on Thursday, summit Friday morning then hike out.
