porter work

[drl]

I heard that some people pay for help carrying loads to Camp Muir. Does anyone know about this?

I think a better approach would be to simply say you're willing to porter or you're looking for a porter.

that sounds illegal or sumpin. unless you do it through a licensed guide service. you trolling for a bust?

.....and then, he was gone.....

I guess the answer is NO. No one has heard of this portering.

[drl]

Excuse me. I have heard of it, but the guy who told me knows nothing else.

What's the going rate? I could use some pocket money and the exercise would do me good.

My name is Porter, and I object to my name being associated with work. And I'm not carrying your load up to Muir. Do it yourself.

I like to drink porter, but not at work. Usually with pizza.

In the Tetons (if i remember correctly), Exum pays porters $100 per load to the upper saddle. What a great way to finance the summer at the climbers ranch!

I doubt if rmi does this, as they probably have their jr guides do it. (just a guess though)

why all the way to the upper saddle, would think they'd drop loads at the lower??

[klenke]

You're right, that chap bchaps probably meant the Lower Saddle. I've made that mistake more than once in describing the place as Upper. There is no reason to porter supplies up to the Upper Saddle. Not the best place to camp (though certainly not impossible).
