David Shuer Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Looking for a partner for Ingraham DIrect/DC on Rainier this weekend. I have crevasse rescue experience, AIARE 1, WFA, and am moderate-fast (Hood in a bit over 3 hours). I'm fine slowing it down too, just looking to enjoy the awesome conditions this weekend. I climbed last year via this route around this time and conditions were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Gotz Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hi David! I'd be interested in joining you if you're willing to go with a newbie. I am a fast hiker and recent transplant to Seattle from California, so while I've done some winter ascents, it's all been snowfields and not glaciers so I would need to be shown the ropes (literally). I should have all the necessary equipment besides the crevasse rescue stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Shuer Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hey Alex, I’d be down to climb something more tame sometime like Baker, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable teaching someone on Rainier. It’s just not a good place for introduction given the scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Gotz Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Okay, no worries. Shoot me a message sometime if you're thinking of doing Baker or something more suitable for learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve M Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hey David still looking for someone? I did Hood March 19th this year, Baker/Colman Deming route May first last year, and 8 Bulgers in between. I have alpine kit, rope, know z pulley and drop down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, the post was actually for last weekend. We ended up doing a c2c on Ingraham Direct. I'd be down to climb something else this season though.
