scottgg Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I am going to try and squeeze in a jaunt up that delightfully picturesque hill-thingy during the next week or so. Just yesterday, while trolling elliot bay in dear old dads boat, I wagered my dearest that I could surmount the mountain within a fortnight, and now I am afraid I am in over my head! Mt Rainier appears to be covered in a ghastly white substance, I can only assume snow, and I am in need of your chaps help! Has any one hiked on the trail called "Fuhrer Finger", or perhaps the "Nisqually Icefall/cliff" during this god-less time of year? Any information will be recieved by a most grateful heart!

catbirdseat Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Don't let a stupid bet be the death of you. Go only if the conditions are right. Otherwise, wait until they improve. Â Hopefully you will get a weather window. We're due for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

still_climbin Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Lots of avy opportunity on Fuhrer Finger since its basically a 3,000 ft funnel. Even iffy on the approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
