You don't know the guy's skill and condtioning level. I once took four days to climb and descend the Kautz. It was a great trip! I expect it'd be pretty tough to do the east side routes (Tacoma Glacier, etc) in a day car-to-car. Though the record for Lib Ridge is 21 hours car-to-car, so there's probably someone out there who could do Tacoma Glacier in a day. Quote
troubleski Posted October 7, 2002 Posted October 7, 2002 Anyone ever tried to do something in a single day and then really wished they hadn't? Not even just forced to bivy, but made it back to the car and sworn that you would never try something like it again... ? Quote

oo9 Posted October 7, 2002 Posted October 7, 2002 Yo Fence, could it possibly be the Tahoma Glacier you wre thinking about? Quote
Fence_Sitter Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 nisqually? shit i cant remember...but i know the approach was LONG Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 Nisqually is the shortest approach. Cant be it. But I cant figure out what the point was. Â Although I dont see why anyone would want to climb the upper portion of the glacier above and left of muir directly. Â [ 10-07-2002, 12:20 PM: Message edited by: Cpt.Caveman ] Quote
COL._Von_Spanker Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 car 2 car is nice cause you don't have to carry as much crap, especially if yer carryin' a trad rack. Regarding driving home, just remember, if you are suffering on the hike out think how much it will suck driving home.  You can party down at the car, after a car 2 car trip, with lots o food and beer and music, then get waffles the following morning in Little Bavaria  I would usually rather hump the gear up and spend a night in the wilderness, But sometimes car 2 cars is a must.

Dru Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 i have noticed that more than a few parties require bivouacs on outer space Quote

wdietsch Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 I was doing some research on the Bugs' for a trip next year and happened upon this article. Personally I agree with the majority of the responses in this thread and frankly have little desire to run in and out of the mountains as fast as I can just for the fuck of it. Although I enjoy pushing myself to be a better/faster/more efficient climber, I also like to stop and smell the roses....

Dru Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 Hans was earlier part of a party that climbed 20 of the 50 classics in 20 days. Quote
Bronco Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 You would have a tough time getting to the top of Mt. Blum and back in a day. Or Terror. Â Ptarmagin ridge on Rainier looks like a fun day outing, car to car... Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted October 9, 2002 Posted October 9, 2002 Oooh Blumwhack with north ridge in a day could be done but it does look pretty good  Quote
eric8 Posted October 10, 2002 Posted October 10, 2002 Anyone ever do the NE Buttress of Goode in a day? Probably not. The North Face of Buckner may be do able in day, anyone do it in 24 hours? Quote
philfort Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 I think Lowell Skoog did N face of Buckner in much less than a day a few years ago (using skis).... Quote
