rob Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I'm looking for someone to lead up Cutthroat, the weekend of 8/26. This will be my first (5th class) alpine climb, so I'll buy the beer afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Fascinating... Any reason why you chose Cutthroat as your first alpine climb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Cause I heard someone from a Mountaineer's party left his wallet up there and I'm short on cash. You want in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 There are easier ways to make money... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Are you comfortable scrambling/simuling 3rd-class to low-5th? If that portion of the buttress (most of it) had to be pitched out, it would make for a pretty miserable experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrov Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 let's see ... give a cc'er some beer, or pay mountain madness 325 per day ... hey, while you're trying to save money, I can draft some legal documents for you. Maybe a last will and testament? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Honestly, thanks for the concern. In all seriousness, I appreciate it. However, wouldn't you agree that I'm in a better position to judge my ability than you? A unique position, some would say. However, there are more helpful things than sarcastic comments -- which, truthfully, will neither disuade nor assist me. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 I would suggest that you show up for some Exit 38 climbing on a Wednesday or Thursday night and make yourself a known quantity. Then you stand a better chance of hooking up with someone for an alpine climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinomyte Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 So I gather that when someone literally holds your life in their hand, you have to trust that they know what they're doing? Hmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skykilo Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Seems like a good first alpine climb to me. I really enjoyed taking a couple inexperienced friends up that route. (If I weren't in Michigan I might be willing to take your life in my hands. Lord knows I've gotten spanked enough on harder routes lately.)

fenderfour Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Maybe Mr. Hansel would be willing. He has been rope-gunning a few cc'ers up hard routes lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Maybe you should hire a guide, since that seems to be what you are looking for anyway. You essentially are expecting someone to guide you up Cutthroat in exchange for a sixer. Maybe you can find someone with adequate experience willing to do this, but good luck.
