Dru Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 good to hear Rainier is in the Olympics. Seattle needs the rain shadow. bummer about Tieton getting so wet though. Quote
AlpineK Posted February 13, 2002 Posted February 13, 2002 If Rainier is in the Olympics then we are in deep shit when it erupts and all the ash hits Seattle. Quote

Duchess Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 too bad you didn't go for it (rainier) this week--four straight days of beautiful, clear, dry weather... Quote
al Posted February 19, 2002 Posted February 19, 2002 We got to Muir hut Saturday and eventually it filled to capacity. We were to do the Gib route and others, the Ingraham direct. There was even a party camping up at the beehive. But 3am Sunday was howling whiteout and we all crawled back in the sack. Everyone returned to Paradise later that day. Only one strong climber on Friday did a solo summit up the Gib route, enjoying perfect route and weather conditions. Quote
KeithKSchultz Posted February 20, 2002 Posted February 20, 2002 Yeah. Nice weather until Friday night. A lenticular formed about 9PM and was followed by a little snow. Not bad up to 11000 but it would have been white out conditions above. There was probably some serious cross loading above the chute. But I saw it all from below so I don't know jack. Quote
