Looks awesome man! Still would like to do the north ridge!
-
Nice picture! I'm thinking of doing adams glacier either this year in a couple weeks or next year.
-
Good stuff man! Have fun!
-
Yes! It was a shame tht you had to turn back on Curtis ridge. The trip report was awesome! You'll get that ridge someday! Both of your ptarmigan ridge reports were awesome! Makes me want to go and do those routes someday. Hard indeed but I wouldn't mind trying them out. Thanks again your reports are inspiring!

Have you been up there recently?

Hey CC!
Me and my fellow climbers are going up to rainier to try for a summit attempt. It is our first time attempting the summit as independent climbers. We'll be camping up at ingraham flats Friday night. If anyone is planning on being there the same day, I wouldn't mind chatting it up with you and getting some mountain beta
Cheers everyone!
To the top we go!

Yes it's an osprey 70. It doesn't look like I can get rid of it. I can put other materials down there but the sleeping bag won't fit.

Hey CC!
I have a -25 down sleeping bag from feathered friends. I'm trying to get it compressed so that it will fit in my sleeping bag compartment. I have a sea to summit large compression sack. I got it all the way down, all the sides pulled to the max but it is still fairly big enough that I cannot put it in the compartment. Any help with this situation would be nice. Do I need a different compression sack? I have a anther osprey 70 for a backpack.
Thanks CC!

Trip: Mt Rainier Single Day Push - Paradise to Ingraham Flats
Date: 7/13/2013
Trip Report:
SImply beautiful!!
This is my first time going further from Camp Muir..so you could say i am a beginner so I am training for Mt. Rainier in the next couple weeks. So if your disappointed to see a training report instead of a summit report oh well, you may learn something.
Me and my fellow climbers are busy on the weekdays so we used our day that we had to do a hard push from Paradise to Ingraham Flats in a single day. Less then 12 hours up and back.
Made it to Muir in under 4 hours which is my personal best. I keep cutting time off which is good! A bit nervous and intimidating when i was putting on my harness and helmet and roping up but i was glad to be finally doing it.
Beautiful views, sunny day, and barely no wind!
Me and my fellow climbers
Usual Summit pose lol

Looking down into the abyss of the earth..beautiful!

Living the dream!

Pain is temporary..glory is forever!
Gear Notes:
Know your stuff before you go for the summit
Approach Notes:
Follow boot pack up to Muir. Register with the climbing rangers at paradise before you go over onto the glacier
-
If you don't mind me asking what may be your favorite route on rainier? Explain too if you can:)
Thank you!
-
Sunset ridge/amphitheater?
Love your trip reports!
-
Good stuff!! Amazing! Would love to do that route some day!
-
I wish more climbers would report on the beta of the mountain and the conditions. It would help us all out and help the rangers as well
-
im sure many people have done it with skis and likely without skis, from C2C, maybe you have no time on your hands, if you like to go fast thats your decision. maybe no the mtn you dont have much time as conditions worsen but what ever happened to taking your time and relaxing a bit, take in the scenery?
-
I'm getting a team together, we may be up there around the 21-22 of July.
-
Hey I know the route has been changed from the normal DC route to traversing over to camp comfort and then on up. I may be heading up here in a couple weeks, just wanting to see if anyone has been up there and know what the conditions are like beyond muir.
Thanks everyone

Hey everyone I'm looking for an expierenced climber or two to go with me to Rainier in early-mid July. July 6-18 is when I'm free. I just need some climbers that have safety and experience as a priority. I've climbed Helens a couple times and I am in shape. I also finished up adams too. Let me know if your interested. I need commitments as well. A "maybe" can work but I'm looking to climb this summer, and wouldn't mind if I can climb with some fellow climbers. Since this would be my first time I anyone experienced would want to accompany me that would be appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
To the top we go!
-
Me and electric Eric are good to go, we would like a third just for more safety and awareness up on the Mtn
-
I both sent you a PM. would you two be willing to start a rope team? 2 people isn't my best bet. 3 people would be safer too. S
Let me know if your interested

well since its late june going into july, lets make it "looking for partners july DC route"

So supposedly drones have been flying around and patrolling the USA the past couple years. When I was on rainier New Year's Day, I saw one flying not very fast around rainier. I know we have Fort Lewis and they could just be training. But we do you all think of now aerial drones over USA. they didn't stop the Boston bombings sadly.

Yes it was fun! Bring water and sun protection!

Hey I haven't been up there for a month but expect snow. I don't think you would need mtn boots for this climb. Snowshoes will likely not be needed. Bring crampons and ice axe just in case it gets icy up on top. Climbers bivouac has not been opened yet so you will be starting at marble mtn snow park. No snow there so don't bring skis

It's crazy how much snow melts. We both were on the winter route but in 11 days a lot of snow melted
