Partner Needed Alaska - Foraker - Have Permit

Recommended Posts

Hi:

 

May be seeking replacement partner for Foraker in late May/early June in Alaska. I've been there before and have all the gear needed. Prefer someone with expedition experience, though not absolutely required. I have climbed in Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Peru 4-5 times, Argentina, and planning Equitor and Bolivia.

 

Want to climb SE Ridge of Foraker. Going over Crosson is not a favorite option.

Regards

 

Kevin

Kevin,

 

Perhaps I'll see ya on Foraker. Three Portland climbers are leaving on 5/31 for AK. First stop is to climb/acclimizing on Foraker. Then rest up

and head for Denali's W Rib.

 

Look for the Red Eyed White Boys

We'll see you on our way down. We are three doing the Full Rib alpine style starting May 18. "Alpine style" is a relative term in Alaska. No double carries and no sled. Can you say hemeroid?

We only did one double-carry on the West Butt (acclimitization carry from 14 to 16). We used one sled. That was a BAD idea. If I had it to do all over again. . .

 

I guess you won't be taking a lot of beer with you.

 

See ya in Talkeetna. Look for the pink "action" suit.

rbw1966/Kevin,

 

We are climbing the Sultana on Foraker. Foraker is primarily an acclimization climb. Our ultimate goal is a fast and light ascent of Denali's W Rib from the NE Kahiltna fork. The pre-acclimization will eliminate numerous days off the Rib climb and cut many pounds of food and fuel from the packs.

 

Watch out for the Red Eyed White Boys
