BundledUpSurfer Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 I’m looking for partners for a winter ascent of Rainier. I’d also like to work up to the climb with a couple of autumn summits. I’ve climbed Rainier 4 times by 3 different routes - twice in a day, and have done many winter overnight trips in the Cascades. I have all the winter gear one could want except a beacon, which I can easily rent, buy, or borrow. Looking for partners with adequate experience, very good fitness, and, most importantly, a lot of ambition. David malkind@seattleu.edu (I live in Ballard) Quote
Icescrewhold Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Sounds interesting.... I have done the dc route, Baker, Adams, and have made it to 14k camp denali... Am actually looking for committed climbing partner(s) to climb with. Ambition here, but looking at putting together a group that is focused, modest, and can get along. Quote
phil_tatman Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I would definetly be in to try Rainier this winter. I have more rock and alpine experience than true big mountain glacier experience, but I am very interested in climbing this winter. I have done Adams twice and spent a month in the St. Elias this summer. My glacier skills are fine tuned and I am training for ice this winter. Quote
Peakpimp Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I definitely think were on the same page. I've done many alpine scrambles (Mt. Adams, Sahale Peak, Mt. Buckner, Dragontail Peak etc.) and have recently broken into technical climbing. I just lack a solid group of partners who also desire to step their game up. I have the necessary winter gear, knowledge, and a strong ambition to climb just about anything in the winter, rock, ice, big mountain, ski mountaineering routes etc. I've got no issues with alpine bivvies on high icy ledges or single push marathons. I'm in great shape and hope we can get together!! -Josh Quote
jmo Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I'm interested. I've got the DC route, Baker and Adams, and all the technical gear. Great shape and pretty easy going. Johnobrien88@hotmail.com Quote
DPS Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I am planning on doing Rainier this winter again, but not by any of the south side routes. As for me: Looking for partners with adequate experience - yup very good fitness - uh, how about good enough fitness? and, most importantly, a lot of ambition - especially while I am sitting behind a computer Quote
Camp_Chef Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I'm in. Looking to expand my circle of climbing partners. I check the weather daily in search of a window. I have a habbit of sending text/e-mails out to the group a few days ahead of time. work travel is thinning the herd. Curious about winter climbs of Rainier sans south side routes - hows the aproach? Cheers, frankrpage@yahoo.com Quote
brmarkey Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 me and two buddies are lookin to climb in late march. were lookin at the debrolter ledge rout. were a pretty tight grp but could use another person. We have done a bunch of climbing in Alaska and Montana together let me know if your interested. Bryce Quote
aussie69 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 My partner and I will be up Feb14th- Feb22nd in search for that illusive presidents day weather window! Send me a PM if yall are going to be up there. Maybe get a poker game going after a hard day of trudging about? Even combining forces to make a larger team would be worth considering. Anyhow hope to see some of you up there! Good luck and happy trails. ~cheers~ Austin S Quote
ballsamic Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Hey all, I'm new to WA, and have some experience rock climbing, but none "alpine" or glacier. But I am a very fast learner, easy going, and can get along with just about any one. I have lots of book knowledge of glacier and alpine travel, but I know thats not as good as field experience. I am very motivated to get out and learn, while loving the experience. I don't have any of the technical gear for winter climbs, but I have plenty of cloths and could get my hands on everything else. Let me know about any opportunities to get out and climb with any of you. Thanks for the consideration! ~Spencer Peck Quote

asong Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Hi all, I have recently moved from Southern California where I did lots of alpine climbing. I submitted Mt. Whitney (14,505 ft), Mt. Langley (14,042 ft), University Peak (13,589 ft) and many other peaks over 10,000 ft. I have some experiences with winter climb too and have some winter gears. I am very into to Mt. Rainer and another high mountain around here. I am looking forward to any chances to hike up there. Please contact me if you want to know more about me and consider me as your partner. Thanks, Quote
