fear Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 Partner just bailed on a planned Mt. Rainier / Liberty Ridge climb. Planned to go last week of May. Times are still flex. Figure 4-5 days tops. I'm looking for either another partner or joining another team. Potential partners MUST have: A sense of humor Solid multi-pitch lead climbing experience on ice. Ability to lead Grade 2+/3 ice and at least follow or TR a 3+/4 Glacier experience (complete crevasse rescue skills) Solid general mountaineering skills (whiteout navigation, self-arrest, winter camping) Experience on at least one technical multi-day climb over ~13,000 feet. Obviously previous experience on Rainier/high cascades is a big plus. I've got the Bibler eldo tent/stove/rope/rack(screws and pickets) You'll need your own tools, bag, glacier gear, etc. If you think you might be interested please e-mail me ASAP! I'm in Central Connecticut. Thanks rmb@angelfire.com Quote
Alex Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 fear, if you are looking for someone local (Washington), about 2-3 weeks notice is all you will need to hook up. People will be itching in May anyway, might want to (re)post then. Just a thought, Alex Quote
Bug Posted January 17, 2004 Posted January 17, 2004 I am always willing to consider a Rainier trip. But I have no sense of humor so no one will climb with me. Other than that, I qualify. Quote
