Joe Ranger Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) Looking at climbing this summer with a couple of friends. I have been a up Rainier a couple of time. So we are looking for some more climbers to head up with us. Anyone interested? Edited March 22, 2008 by Joe Ranger Quote
Woodwose Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 I'm interesed. Done DC a couple times, prefer something new. Quote
Icescrewhold Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 when in the summer would u be going? Let me know - ok? Quote
swami Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 When are you going, and what route are you thinking about? Quote
Joe Ranger Posted March 26, 2008 Author Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Thinking about a hike up to Camp muir on Sat. As for what route this summer, I don't know yet. I have two newbies for my Army unit that want to go. I perfer to go with some more experience climbers, but can't just shuck them aside. So I was looking at two teams. So if you guys are still interested I can use all the help I can get. Edited March 26, 2008 by Joe Ranger Quote
webnick2007 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Keep us posted on your dates as they get closer.............. Quote
Larry W Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Still looking? I have a flexible schedule, climbing experience - although I have not been on Rainier. Live in Bend, OR Quote
Kilgore_Trout Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 Anybody thinking about heading up this weekend for a quick overnight? Conditions don't look great - "Cloudy with a chance of snowshowers" Saturday night, but I thought I'd ask... Quote
rikn Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 I'm interested. I'll be at Mt. Rainier on July 2-7. Looking to hook up w/ a partner, or partners up that standard route from Paradise. Let me know please. ~rik Quote
Joe Ranger Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 We all need to link up over a beer or coffee and talk some dates. What do you all think? Somewhere in Seattle if good with me. Scott Quote
MountainLover73 Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I am big time interested. I'm 34 and have hiked many high elevation hikes all over the NW, but I have never climbed to the top of a REAL Mountain. Summits are cool, but I need a mountain. When ya looking at doing the climb???????????? Quote
Joe Ranger Posted May 2, 2008 Author Posted May 2, 2008 A couple of my buddies are going to try and get up to Camp Muir this Sat. If you are still looking to climb this summer come on out this Sat for a walk in the snow. Scott Quote
Joe Ranger Posted May 7, 2008 Author Posted May 7, 2008 Ok I have decided on climbing Rainier on 2-4 July. Hopefully we can get up in down in time to celebrate the 4th. If you would like to climb with us, shoot me a note. Quote

Travis_ Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I would love to climb Rainier this summer. I am a novice but plan on getting experience this spring. Please let me know when you are planning on going, Quote
rikn Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I'll be up there on July 3rd-7th, would like to team up w/ someone. I have no crevasse experience, but experience in everything else...anyways if you need to reach me, I'm at 760.752 .1467 ~rik Quote
Joe Ranger Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) We are headed to Rainier Saturday for a quick go over of some basic mountaineering and crevasse rescue. Should be a easy hike up to a close by cornice. If you want to join in shoot me an email for time and link up location Edited June 4, 2008 by Joe Ranger Quote

I'm interested. I should start getting weekends off soon too. Are you active army? I'm at Lewis and would be interested in meeting some other soldiers to climb with. Quote
Dave C Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Joe Ranger pm sent. Anyone looking at making a summit bid this weekend/into next week? I am out in the area and haven't been able to find anyone yet who is up for some climbing. Looking at doing the Kautz route, or maybe Gib ledges. Quote
millertimelive Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I might be in for that. I was actually supposed to do the Kautz glacier with my partner on June 20th or so but he ditched on me and I still really wanna give it a shot. I live in Arizona and am trying to find a way to head up there. Interested in that route at all? Quote
ropegoat Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Millertime, check the next thread up in about June 18-20. I'd prefer not DC route. What's your experience like? Quote

Dave C Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 That is assuming the weather turns for the better. It may be into next week before the next realistic opportunity. Quote
