DavidVO Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Hello, looking for partners for a couple of basic glacier climbs during the two weeks Jul 29-Aug 12 where I'll have to work only for two days. So I'm very flexible with the weather etc. My plans are, in the preferred order (yet I'm open for other/further suggestions): Adams (South Spur or Mazama, as a "warm-up", car-to-car) Hood (Regular route, hope it won't be too icy already) Rainier (via Emmons, two days) Glacier Peak (via Sitkum, two days) I'm in reasonable shape and have moderate glacier experience. Last year I did Rainier via DC twice, Whitney, Baker, Shuksan etc. I've done several of the major glacier climbs in Austria, Italy and Switzerland. See e.g. Rainier via DC single-push, Mt. Whitney (in summer), Sahale Peak, Zuckerhütl in Austria, Saastal in Switzerland, and Ortler in Italy. You can also contact me directly.

Robwantstoclimb Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 David, When do you think you will be in the Mt. Rainier area? I should be in that area around the 8th to climb. Let me know. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainBlood Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 My buddy and I already have permits to climb Mt. St. Helens on July 27th, Mt Adams on the 28th and 29th and are planning on Mt. Hood on the 30th. We are planning to do some backpacking after that until we meet up with RMI for a Mt. Rainier climb on August 7-9th. Then we are planning on driving up to Trinity for 4 days for some more backpacking and possible a summit of Glacier Peak. If you’re interested in any part of our trip let me know.

DavidVO Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Rob, I'll probably be in the Mt. Rainier area around Aug 2 or Aug 8. What are your plans there; to go via Emmons, camp where and when? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidVO Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) MB, I definitely would have been interested in joining you for Hood (and Adams), but as I've just learnt, the simple route on the south side already now is pretty much done for the year :-( We'd better focus on e.g. Mount Daniel and the North Cascades. I wonder why you have booked with RMI in order to climb Rainier. The DC route is not (much) more difficult than Hood, but of course much longer. Don't you already have glacier travel and crevasse rescue experience? Meanwhile I have a partner to climb Glacier Peak on Aug 3-5 or 10-12, so maybe we can do it together on Aug 10-12.

MountainBlood Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Mt. Adams on this post seems in pretty good shape. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/703898/page/1#Post703898 5 Days ago. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suomi Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hello David, My name is Ed and I am reponding to your post. I recently put a post up under 'partners' too, looking for someone to do the Emmons or DC route. I have a fair bit of moderate glacier work. I am planning to be in the area when you are looking to climb. Please email me or call 612-790-7873 if I can join your team. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidVO Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hello Ed, I'm not yet sure if&when to do the Emmons (also depending on nice weather with good views), but most likely within Aug 6-9. I only want to spend a single night on the mountain, so camp at Camp Schurmann or Emmons Flats on the way up. If we both are in good shape, we could also do car-to-car, taking off at around 8 PM, as I did last year on the DC route. Please respond to Web8@von-Oheimb.de or at least leave your email address for more direct communication. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Hello Ed, I am interested in doing the Mt. Rainier DC route on the August 4th weekend. You can email me at uclageneticist@gmail.com if you still need a possible partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidVO Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 (edited) I meanwhile plan with various folks for Eldorado on Aug 1/2, Glacier Aug 10-12, Rainier via Emmons Aug 28/29. Presumably Adams and/or others during Aug 7-12. All but Glacier car-to-car. Does anyone like to join?
