Bivouac Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 Hey, does anybody have GPS coordinates for strategic points high on Mt. Rainier (besides the summit, that is)? Points like the Liberty Cap Glacier bergshrund, the top of Liberty Cap, the top of the wanded route on the Emmons, and the entrance to the ice caves? I'm willing to carry 5 ounces of GPS up Liberty Ridge next week if it will help me find a bivy site or the way down in an area that gets too many raging storms. Btw, what's your datum? Many thanks to anyone who can help. Quote
G-spotter Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 I think you can get a list of GPS waypoints for Rainier at mountainspeedclimbing.com or .org or .whatever (I can never remember which is which) what's your datum? What's the Frequency, Kenneth? Quote
Bivouac Posted June 5, 2006 Author Posted June 5, 2006 Thanks, but mountainspeedclimbing.org is a domain name that expired a week ago. Quote
lI1|1! Posted June 5, 2006 Posted June 5, 2006 this might be helpful: http://maps.nationalgeographic.com/topo/file.cfm?fileid=337 i think you need TOPO to open the files. Quote
Bivouac Posted June 6, 2006 Author Posted June 6, 2006 Wow, that sounds like a good climbing map. I'm not sure I want to spend the $100 on a new mapping software package, but it's definitely a way to get the answers. Thank you. Quote
