ajosephfd Posted March 10, 2001 Posted March 10, 2001 Anybody out ther up for a trip to Denali June 8-July 1st. Anyone serious that is. My regular partner had to bail.
dan_e Posted March 13, 2001 Posted March 13, 2001 I would rather walk naked through death valley in the middle of summer. I remember heading down the Kahiltna around June 9th and it was so damn hot, crevasses were opened up, and the snow was mush. But, hey have a great time!

rbw1966 Posted March 13, 2001 Posted March 13, 2001 My partner and i went to Denali during the same period of time as your planned trip and it wasn't that bad. Crevasses were opening up but if you travel at night over the Kahiltna you should be ok. Then again, we were skiing. Rob
Guest Posted March 13, 2001 Posted March 13, 2001 this website makes me laugh sometimes. here is a person looking for a climbing partner for a trip to alaska. did he ask anyone about thier trip? no. it's as if people read this post and decide- hey, this is a great opportunity for me to let the world know about MY denali trip, and what an experienced mountaineer i am. this might be this guys fifteenth trip to denali, and here come all the experts, dispensing advice that the person who posted the question about a partner never even asked for. way to stroke your ego's fellas. you're soooo cool.
erik Posted March 13, 2001 Posted March 13, 2001 sounds like baltimore dude, has the east coast attitude. p.s. bro we don't care about your synical remarks. we have enough of it out here without your bullshit! jah Â
dan_e Posted March 14, 2001 Posted March 14, 2001 McCallister is right, sort of. Sometimes I can't help but to add my $.02 even if it's not helpful. It's not the norm for me. I did not see that anyone was really bragging about how great a mountaineer they are. Well, what do I know. I only went there once. I am just a punk ice climber now.
Bronco Posted March 14, 2001 Posted March 14, 2001 Then there is the theory that you shouldn't take anything from a "Chat Room" too seriously - especially from folks who's idea of a good time is rock climbing durring an earthquake. A climb on Denali sounds fab to me, but have some other comittments.
Guest Posted March 14, 2001 Posted March 14, 2001 hey erik, actually BRO, i don't live in maryland. baltimore is my first name. i guess what i'm getting at is the amount of feedback i witness in response to postings on this site that have nothing to do with the posting itself. i probably should have left that last comment out. speaking of east coast attitude however, if you go to neice.com i think you will find far less people refering to other peoples opinions as "bullshit". just straight up route info. sometimes i feel like i'm in a quilting circle on this site. i'm not saying i don't like the site, on the contrary actually. but you have to admit, sometimes on the cover page the 5 most recent postings barely have to do with climbing. sorry for anyone offended. p.s. i live in washington and was shocked at the use of profanity. you know, seeing as how us west coasters are incabable of copping attitude and are so open minded and nice all the time
gapertimmy Posted March 14, 2001 Posted March 14, 2001 ohh, the tears seem to be flowing on this thread if you are interested in going to denali, email or PM the thread starter. >>CLOSED<<
