blake_taruscio Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Trip: Rainier - DC Date: 8/24/2009 Trip Report: Nice exposure between Ingraham and Disapointmen Cleaver just pass Disapointment Cleaver there are two sections of fixed ropes and ladders. easy switch backs after that, and then right before the top there is a narrow snow bridge and a growing crevasse leap it was a fun time for that route due to the exposure. The guides work hard to keep it safe, but they will probably soon run out of options Gear Notes: ice screws are probably better than pickets in many areas Approach Notes: there are actualy open crevasses right below camp muir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huberific Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Thanks for the pics and trip report! Looks wild. Is that a handrail going across the ladder or your rope? What (if any) protection did you use? Prusiks, belay, etc? Thanks, we're looking go up this weekend. I imagine the setup may be different as the crevasses open more.

blake_taruscio Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Ya, those are just fixed ropes next to the ladders we just moved through that section as normal, but you could put something on the rope itself. a prusik probably wouldnt be a good idea, because the ropes are anchored every five meters or so. Its nothing outrageous, random folks are guided through there on a daily basis. it good fun exposure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelawgoddess Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Looking pretty dirty and broken right now! Did you get to summit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
