Bill_Simpkins Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Friday=Muir Saturday=attempt. Turned around by top of Cleaver because of 70 MpH winds, clouds comming off up summit, and electrical storm. Many groups backed off. RMI went up. My partner went up kind of sticking with RMI. I soloed back to Camp Muir from the Cleaver. The route is in very good condition. Lot's of rockfall by Cathedral Gap. PS- One thing I don't like about Rainier is all the obsessed and crazy people that are up there. It's just a mountain folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalX Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Glad we started on saturday. It calmed down on saturday afternoon. Heard about the wind at Shurman and talked to some people who lost a tent and gear. Sunday's weather was awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
