Climb: Mt. Rainier-Gib. Ledges

 

Date of Climb: 4/3/2004

 

Trip Report:

Pen(Dulton), Nate, and myself(skyclimb) decended on the muir snowfield at 4:45 friday evening. A full moon illuminated the hike to muir, and natural air conditioning was at its finest. We reached Muir at 10: something to be pleasently suprised by the elequent and admirable company of Hannah(girlclimber).

We began climbing at 4:45a.m., reached the ledges, did the exit chute, and topped out above gibralter rock. Due to a white-out we didn't summit, but had a great time decending the Ingrahm Direct. We then entered back into the sunshine!

Girlclimber will post a more detailed report, but this route is in condition, and seriously rocks!

It may take her a few days though, because she is going to give the nisqually icefall a try today!
