Hey!
Looking for an experienced climber to join me for a 3-person rope team on a Rainier summit attempt via Camp Muir and the Disappointment Cleaver route.
Itinerary:
Aug 9 (Saturday ~8am) – Morning start hike to Camp Muir
Aug 10 (Sunday early AM/midnight) – Summit push
Who I’m Looking For:
Glacier travel + crampon/ice axe experience
Know how to rope up, travel in rope team, self-arrest and crevasse rescue
Solid fitness — let me know what other climbs you've done and or other conditioning stats. Speed is safety for all of us
Good attitude, okay with turning around if conditions demand it
Gear:
We have most group gear needed already so
Glacier rope travel kit (harness, axe, helmet, headlamp, crampons, carabiners, slings, prusiks)
Mountaineering boots (compatible with crampons)
Snow overnight (tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, snow stakes)
Forecast looks decent so far. Ranger blogs says it's been pretty good condition so far for how late it is in the season: https://mountrainierclimbing.blogspot.com/

Fitness level
