Jordan Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Me and a friend are heading up Rainier but are doing it in one stretch. Planning on leaving Paradise at 8 or 9, getting to Muir at 11 or 12. Taking an hour or so to boil some water etc. and then leaving for summit via DC at 12 or 1. We'd like to either meet up with someone else that would like to do the same or someone or a group of someones planning to do it in two days just so we have a rope team to rope up with. I did Rainier a couple of weeks ago and felt great. Got to the summit and didn't feel sick or overly exhausted. My partner is an Ultra marathon runner and runs 50+ mile races. We're both in good physical shape and would like to meet up with someone who knows that they're fit enough to summit. Quote
Tatu Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 This sounds like an ideal plan for me, assuming the I'm free on those dates. I haven't summited Rainier before and would really like to get it done this summer. Up until recently I was a fairly competitive distance runner and fitness shouldn't be a problem. I was at Muir in mid June and my alarm didn't go off and woke up at around 6am, so I decided to bag the summit attempt. 804-310-7083 if you still need someone. Quote
