Looking to get one of those myself!

This may not answer the question directly, but here is some good data from Will Gadd's blog with regards to single rope vs half rope testing. Will Gadd Blog Half rope impact force data

Well written, thanks for the share!

Pretty neat! Glad to hear the injured climber made it out okay.

Looks incredible! Thank you for sharing. I would love to make it the Chamonix. One day!

Sweet job guys!

Incredible!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Usually in May the ID is still a good plan. Last year late May/early June was when ID route was out and the DC was coming in. Check out http://mountrainierclimbing.blogspot.com/ for info and reports from the previous seasons. If you plan on staying at Muir or Ingraham flats there will be plenty of people to get beta from on the condition of the route. You won't need slowshoes for the approach in May. Also you can find some good information on these forums, there are plenty of great climbers here to get advice from. If you have anymore questions on the route just send me a PM. Cheers!

Sweet line!

MRE omelets are the worst!

Kurt's advice is great! This is the standard book answer according to "Alpine Climbing, Taking your technique higher."

A great article. Mostly lessons I learned from carrying to much stuff and never using. Good training I suppose?

that is awesome. I miss rainier.

If these were size small i would snatch them up. Bump again for sweet pants.
