Yes, very interested in joining you as well for the DC on July 7!...I'm also a member of the Washington Alpine Club, so have formal training and experience in safe glacier travel, and have summited Rainier many times over the years via 7 different routes...(as well as attempts of two or three other routes) also have about anything additional we might needed gear wise. And hope you'll forgive me responding so close to the climb dates...have not been on the CC forum in a while and just saw your post, thanks! Dave
