AaronB Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Where do you live Greg, have you been on the mountain in April? Quote
kiwigreg Posted February 27, 2004 Author Posted February 27, 2004 i am living in seattle now but are heading to northern cali. in 2 weeks no i haven't been up there in april, is it nasty?? Quote
To_The_Top Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Can get seriously nasty weather there. Look for a good weather report. Quote
Bug Posted February 28, 2004 Posted February 28, 2004 I am planning on going up Gib Ledges, the most popular winter route because of it's directness, in late April. So yes, it may be nasty, and it may be nice. It may be nice and nasty or it may be nasty and nice. I am not inviting anyone because we have a rope of 3 which is my preffered arrangement. Just as a point of information, the chances of summitting are not good but they are worse if you don't try. Be prepared for rain, snow, freezing rain, melting snow, sub zero temps, whiteouts, high winds, and deep powder and dangerous slabs all in the same trip. No shit! Quote
Greg_W Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 rain, snow, freezing rain, melting snow, sub zero temps, whiteouts, high winds, and deep powder and dangerous slabs all in the same trip. No shit! Â Wahoooo!!! It's gonna be fun, fun, fun!!! Quote

bbm Posted March 8, 2004 Posted March 8, 2004 i'm looking for the same. probably late april though. do you ski/ride/tele? i'm hoping to find someone to do a ski descent with. Quote
Minus Posted March 9, 2004 Posted March 9, 2004 Me and a mate from the UK are coming over at the beginning of April. He has only got 10 days (8th onwards I think) and would consider a third in the team. Looking at one of the Ridges or Gib ledges. If interested PM me. Quote
Matthew Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 looking for partner/s or team to hook into on rainier around the first 3 weeks of april any route considered  I'd definitely be interested. Free any weekend. Uber gear. No particular preference on route. I'd prefer more than a pair if conditions get less than optimal. What's your schedule??? Quote
