manky Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 Climb: Mount Rainier-Paradise to Muir Date of Climb: 4/22/2005 Trip Report: Lots of traffic going up and down. About 1/3 were Rondee jocks including 4 hardmen in light clothing that beelined past us on skins. Before 8 AM snow was easy below 7,000. Windy but not bad becoming white out at 9,000 and above. 3 guides with a herd of 15 or so clients hung out for 2 or 3 days waiting for visibility to improve with no luck above Gib Rock. Coming down in slop below 7,500. Lots of late starters slogging up the lower benches. Lots of rock showing or just below the surface. Better go soon. There won't be much ice left 10 years from now. Gear Notes: Trekking pole and boots Quote
