off_the_hook Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 My partner and I are going to do the Ptarmigan Traverse the third week of July (two weeks from now) in five days. We would like to have a third person on the rope team (or two people for two rope teams). If interested, drop me a PM. We will need to do some sort of climb beforehand to get aquainted.

JoshK Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 if you are wanting the 3rd for security's sake, I would offer that the glacier crossings on the ptarmigan traverse are not very technical. if you are more comfortable with a third, however, don't listen to me, just my 2 cents.

Szyjakowski Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 i agree about the third and the glaciers being easy to cross.. however i suppose the third could carry more beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

off_the_hook Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Yeah, I agree. We basically want a third partner for company sake. We are doing Three Fingers Monday or Tuesday of next week so write me a PM or contact me asap. We are still on for July 14-18 weather providing. Should be off the hook! Thanks.

Rod_Xuereb Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I've done the Ptarmigan twice and would agree with most of the responses with the exception being the Middle Cascade Gl. There are some big crevasses there and the route can't always be as direct as you like. I would feel more comfortable with a third person, though I've done it with just the two.

off_the_hook Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 Last chance climbers! My partner and I are still up for the Ptarmigan if anybody wants to join us. The weather forecast looks really good right now for next week. National Weather Service forecast: "TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...MOSTLY SUNNY DAYS AND MOSTLY CLEAR NIGHTS FREEZING LEVEL 12500 FEET." Lets make this happen. Drop me a PM or give me a ring at 425-392-2403 if you want to go. Leor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
