brettinnj Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I was planning to climb the Nisqually Icefall the first week of March. I no longer have a partner and I was hoping to find one on this board. Exact dates and route are not carved in stone. I am an avid ice climber with rescue/crevasse training. I also have had avalanche training. Please email me ASAP if interested at rocksnstocks@gmail.com Quote
Lucky Larry Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) how burly is this and is it a carry over the top? Edited February 10, 2010 by oldlarry Quote
brettinnj Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 No, I didn't plan to carry over. I figured an easier route down to base camp at the base of the Cowlitz Cleaver. It's a short walk to Camp Muir. I spoke with a climbing ranger and he suggested this rout(one of a few). He said if anything went wrong, you have a short walk to Camp Muir for shelter, radio, etc. Otherwise we would have the mountain (that section) to ourselves. The route is a winter route. It starts off 60 degrees for a short distance and then lessens to a 30 degree climb. The other route I was thinking was the Gib Ledge. That's 50 degrees. Also a good winter route. Â I'm 45 years old. I'm in good shape but I'm not looking for a marathon. I'm looking to have a great time and stay away from the crowds. Quote
