tobe945 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Will be driving up to Washington after visiting a friend in California. I am looking to do Rainier/Baker but would also like to take a look at Adams, and another route I haven't done on Mt. Hood. Would also be up for cllimbing at Smith Rock. I am in need in partners, as I don't know anyone in the area (I live in Boulder, CO). So if you'd like to plan a trip or let me tag on to yours, I'd much appreciate it. tobe945@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtnclimber Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I am looking at going up Mt. Rainier in a day and then skiing down in May----Kinda a long push---must be in good shape---depending on the snow conditions and approach the Emmons glacier may take up to 8-9 hours +/- to hit the top---should be a fun Ski. I live in Bend would be happy to meet you at Smith or Trout creek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-dog Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I went up and made an attempt at rainier last saturday. CLEAR BLUE SKIES!! But blowing a sustained 40mph. Made it up to 8500 and realized my sinus infection was only getting worse. Turned tucked tail and snowshoed back to paradise. Plan on heading back up in 2 weeks to take on gib ledges and board down. Give me a call and mabey we can put something together. Brandon McNally 206-940-1652 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtn.climber Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hey BS You're planning and Easton glacier climb in May. What dates? I've done this climb twice already. One of my favorites. Are you camping at top of railroad grade? How many are going with you. Maybe my son and I can hook up and join? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fml Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I am looking for a climbing partner for Rainier May 29 through May 31. I will do any route. I am especially interested in ski mountaineering, but am open to hiking up as well. Please contact me if you are interested. fmluyet at yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana_Climber Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I am looking to attempt Ptarmigan Ridge this year. My current partner is out of commission due to an old injury flaring up. I live in California but will be checking the weather forecasts for a high pressure system and will buy a ticket last minute. I have fairly extensive high altitude and alpine experience.
