layton Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I have booked my calandar for the Liberty Ridge route on Mt. Rainier for 1/29-31st. I need a partner for those exact dates I have scheduled to climb it. Quote
Alex Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 So,....the reason this is in Spray is because "The DaVinci Code" rubbed off on you and made you a retard? Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Â Just curious: how often is this route climbed in winter? I thought it was mostly in shape in late Spring. Quote
DirtyHarry Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 You have to be atleast tough enough to drink beer in a can to climb Lib Ridge in winter sucka. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 You have to be atleast tough enough to drink beer in a can to climb Lib Ridge in winter sucka. Â Not a matter of toughness, but taste, fool. Â I can drink Night Train strained into a moutaineering boot through funkified polypro socks - doesn't mean that is a "good thing". Quote

olyclimber Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I have booked my calandar for the Liberty Ridge route on Mt. Rainier for 1/29-31st. I need a partner for those exact dates I have scheduled to climb it. Â I'll be tobogganing down the Willis Wall in a coffin that weekend! Can you pack a coffin up the Ridge for me? If so, I'm in. Due to shit going on at work, it has to be that weekend! Do you have a stop watch? Quote
layton Posted January 20, 2005 Author Posted January 20, 2005 still need a partner. dates remain unchangeable, however. I need this. Quote
Greta Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Ill have that stretch the following week open. Let me know if you get stymied. Be safe otherwise, and needless to say, a full pictoral report will be expected. Quote
Off_White Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I was reading the index and saw the title of this thread and thought, "Hey, doesn't that belong in Spray?" Turned out it was already there! Quote
Roger Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 further evidence that you meddling moderators are unneccessary...! Quote
tomtom Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Will the gondola be running that weekend? I'd hate to have to hike that far. Quote
John Frieh Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 If you go Michael 70m ropes are the only way to go; unless of course you are simulclimbing the ridge. If you go I left some biners up there… can you bring them back? They are marked with dried blood from all the climbing partners I failed to ask if they had any allergies prior to climbing with them and subsequently had to kill. Quote
fern Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I'd love to go but the DWR wore off my down suit ... I hope you will make a DVD of your climb. Quote
Dru Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 hey mike, are you going to ski it? i can loan you david persson's lucky tricam. Quote
Harkin_Banks Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 if you could do a voice track on that dvd explaining which pair of crampons you used for which pitches and why it would be appreciated  maybe you could get someone to cache some crampons up high to ensure the right crampon is used at the right time and not a step too soon Quote
Harkin_Banks Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 maybe you should just stay home and purchase six more pairs of crampons Quote
jordop Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 I have those exact days off as well, as my flight will arrive from New York on the 28th. However I am having trouble locating the full-gore tex suit required to do this climb. Does anyone know who is still making these? I suppose I could wear my Bogner ski suit if I can't find a goretex one. Obviously gore-tex would be far warmer Quote
Harkin_Banks Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 not if the Bogner suit includes the fox fur hood liner and the optional quilted satin ass. sucker's like a furnace  sidenote: I've heard it's a felony for canadians to even touch downhill ski equipment w/o wearing a bogner one-piece, or equivalent mec knockoff.

layton Posted January 21, 2005 Author Posted January 21, 2005 so far no one has PM'd me???? Â please write me in 500 words or LESS your climbing resume, why you want to climb this route, and why you think i should climb with YOU Â I will post the top 3 and vote on my winning climbing partner. Quote
