Looking for climbing partner(s)?

Hi All,

Looks like trying to get a climbing partner for Mt. Rainier is a somewhat difficult task.

My name is Rik, live in San Diego. I am looking for a climbing partner, or partners, I can join up with to climb Mt. Rainier. I will be at Mt. Rainier July 3-8, I have never climbed Rainier but would like to, unfortunately, I cannot climb it alone.

I've been climbing since 1994. Have done Mt. Fuji, Shasta, summitted Whitney 15 times, Baldy 60+, and San Jancinto, Gorgoniio, and Wilson countless times. I've climbed in all seasons, know how to use my ice ax, crampons, etc... have done single, and multiple day climbs, know my knots...BUT, have no crevesse experience...I do know how to use my ascenders however, and am quick to perform boot & body belays. My pace is average, I am defintely, not slow, and would be a good addition to any team...nobody has to hold my hand!!!

Anyways let me know if your interested.

...so far not well, but its still early...its only May afterall.

I imagine as July 4th approaches, there'll be someone(s) interested.

Worse case senario is simply sitting in Paradise parking lot with a sign looking for a partner, or partners to climb with. I'm already committed with the airfare & car rental, have everything ready. I've been requesting climbing partners because everyone who originally committed to climb w/ me cancelled, so i'm left "holding the bag" I've sent letters requesting solo permission but no-go.

time will tell.
