See! Thats what I'm talking about, slow alpinism at its finest, cavorting with the natural world, taking your time to smell the goats, out of the cubicle farm and into unstructured unproductive time...

That 3 hour time for Rainier seems bogus. (Maybe that's one-way). It's more like 4.5 hours roundtrip. (Craig Van Hoy?) Look in the last edition of the Molenaar Rainier book. That's pretty darn fast.

I happened to have Mike G's book with me at work when I read this, and he mentions that Chad Kellogg, a climbing ranger, did it Sept 1, 1998, in 5 hrs, 6 minutes, parking lot-to-parking lot.

A few years ago I was leafing through a book that had a bunch of Rainier climb records. The one that sounded most impressive to me was Liberty Ridge, car-to-car, in under 24 hours. (Seems like it was 19 hours?)

All climbing records are meaningless. If speed's not your cup'o tea order another drink. [big Drink]
