Billygoat Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 I'm with Bug and Greg. STG but either date works for me. BYO Goat Quote
Bug Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 I am now planning to go May 28-30 and June 11-13. The South Tahoma Glacier trip will be the May trip. So far GregW and BillyGoat have committed to that date. Rick_Sharpless, Tyler151,RobBob, Ketch, Plinko, JohnT, Minx, and hillweasel have all expressed interest. That's 11. That would make 3 groups. But like I said, only a few of us will really show up at the trailhead. Quote
Tyler151 Posted February 24, 2004 Author Posted February 24, 2004 I am in for May 28-30, what route is being done in June? Quote

Bug Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Right. Part of the reason I want to do the S Tahoma is to get away from the crowds. If we end up with a dozen climbers, I will be trying to talk people into breaking into separate groups and doing other routes. We can meet at the summit and put up a cloud. There are at least a couple other experienced Rainier climbers in the list so this shouldn't be a problem. Quote
Bug Posted February 24, 2004 Posted February 24, 2004 Tyler151 just committed to the May date. That makes 4 in our party. I would rather not have more than that on a rope. I guess we could split into two ropes if there are a couple more interested in ST but any more than that would kind of defeat the purpose of getting away from the crowded routes. Quote
Rick_Sharpless Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 Definitely cannot do the early june dates - my brother is marrying a lady from thailand and the feng shui man says the wedding has to be June 6 - so I'll be elsewhere a week or so either side of that date. Late may is problematic because of a professional comittment but maybe it will resolve. The late June date is a possible. Quote
Bug Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I am going May 28-30 with GregW, BillyGoat and Tyler151 up the South Tahoma route. I would also do a route June 11-13 (Liberty Ridge?). I will be on Camano Island June 25-27. Quote
Bug Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 The Liberty Ridge trip is on for June 11-13. Minx and I and whoever (max of 2, 4 total) else can get out with us beforehand so we aren't strangers on this more serious route. Quote
RobBob Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Damn, maybe a third climb ought to be added, for July. Don't think I can make late May, and I'm too gaperish for Lib Ridge. Quote
Bug Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Sounds like the May trip and the June trip are booked up. Anyone else who wants to go will have to get their own rope team together. It would be fun to try to meet folks on the summit and elswhere but that will be iffy. If anyone needs gear, I have some for sale. Pons, axe, miscelaneous. July is wife month. August is family month. Catch as catch can. Quote
