Climb Rainier next month???

[Icescrewhold]

Am looking for climbing partners to climb Mt. Rainier in the next two months?? Experience climbers prefered ( I have some experience, but am in the beginning stages of this obsession).

I have climbed baker and a few peaks in Oregon, but want to gain more experience on glacier travel... Have some crevasse rescue experience, etc......

Hi. I too am still new to the larger mountains...lots of rock experience and plenty of peaks under my belt, but not much glacier travel experience or know-how. Tried Rainier last summer via Schurman but ran into difficulties and couldn't summit. I'd like to do some other climbs as warm-ups before Rainier, but would be comfortable having a try as part of a group.

If you guys are into piecing 3 or 4 smaller,"other", routes together prior to a push on Rainier I'd be game to join the cause. I did the Emmons Glacier a handful of years ago, not much glacier travel since. I too have a good amount of experience on rock and a good grasp on glacier travel and rescue. What route are you both interested in attempting?

Have you guys connected to make this happen. I have a permit to climb Rainier DC route between June 11-15. Partners have bailed due to lack of commitment, but I am rearing to go. Scrambling to find a partner or two. I have 4 years experience in Alaska between 96-99 and spent 40 miles on a glacier traverse. Choose DC route to get back into it. Been up Whitney multiple times as a day trip.

 

Also, OK tagging on to someone else's trip.

 

Drop me an email at robgaspard@willbruder.com to let me know if you have made plans.

I might be interested also. Please let me know if you're needing another rope-mate...I'm 5-10 on Rainier and am looking for a training climb.

[dperler]

I may have created some confusion:

- I'm not 5'10" (5'7")

- I didn't climb 5.10 rock on Rainier

 

I'm 5 summits out of 10 attempts on Rainier...indicating ability to get to the top and willingness to turn around as needs be

Just got back from Peru and am stoked to get going. I tried Rainier last may, but got into some bad weather ummmmm I want to climb Jefferson first or after Rainier, but anyway thats another story. I'm down...every week...lets go. Ive climbed all the oregon cascades and some in Washington.

Oh and the DC wasn't really impressive from what I climbed, I'm down to do it again, but maybe a different route would be nice. (Fuhrer Finger, Gib ledges).

If the weather looks good I'd be into giving Rainier a shot Tues/Weds next week via whatever route...Kautz, Fuhrer Finger, DC, Gib Ledges...

Rob,

 

How about at the end of August?? I climbed with a guy from Minnesota and he might be able to make it then.....

 

We could practice crevasse rescue - that is a good time of year to do this. Am looking at hood, adams also this year..

 

Denali next year if the weather will let me.................

 

Ideas?

Lets plan a climb in August? what do you think??

 

Let me know - this will give us time to do hood, adams etc... if you want to team up and get a workout..

 

ok?

You have considerable experience on Rainier - your opinion? I am determined to give 100% to it this year..

 

Lets make a plan

I could be in if there is room for the later August date...let me know. I've climbed it a couple of times, mainly the mule routes...but open to try others as well! would love to partake in some boot camp climbs before hand as well. PM me.

Hi there,

 

My climbing partner has bailed on me, so now I am also looking for new climbing partners. Would like to do Hood and Rainier during the second half of June. Anybody interested?

Im sort of new to the mountaineering this. though i have gone up to Muir and I summitted Adams over the Memorial day weekend. I just dont have experience with rope travel or crevasse rescue. but i am a quick and sharp learner. ALso i would love to summit Ranier.

 

DOnt know if anybody wants this kind of burden...but id be more than willing to practice crevasses rescue and rope travel beforehand
