cbcbd Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) Trip: Rainier - Gib Ledges Date: 4/5/2009 Trip Report: Great weather window... DPS,Z-man and I headed out to MRNP to join what we expected would be a plethora of altitude monkeys looking for a ripe banana after the monsoon. After acting as Muir greeters and goodbyers (well wishers?) for the afternoon we met unexpected solitude save for 3 sliders looking for some wind buffed glaciers higher up the next days. The next day we found ourselves alone on the upper mountain with 100 mile views, cool temps, unconsolidated powder/breakable crust/neve, and some light winds. Took a little longer than expected, but the banana was delicious and golden - much like our faces at the end of the 2 days.
