Hey,
How is it going? I currently am trying to find a Rainier partner as well but cannot find anyone in the Boston area. I am in pretty good shape but decided I should start this 3 month training program for Rainier I found online so my recovery time is quicker. I am in the process of buying the gear now (sleeping bag, etc) so maybe we can coordinate so we do not buy doubles of something. Shoot me an email @ alwoodsmithy@gmail.com and we can talk more.
