Rainier DC August 30th - 31st

[vraddict]

Hi, I am looking for one or two dependable people to join myself and my girlfriend on the DC route at the end of August on the 30th and 31st (Monday and Tuesday). We will be flying in from Japan on the 27th, and staying until September 12th.

 

I attempted the Emmons 2 years ago, but it was really late season and we were unable to make reasonable time negotiating the maze of crevasses, so we'd like to try the DC. She's been on a glacier once in the Indian Himalaya, but we both have plenty of experience with Alpine snow and rock routes here in Japan. We've been practicing crevasse rescue skills here to keep it fresh while there is still some snow and ice left in the mountains here.

 

Obviously we don't have a car, but are willing to rent one if necessary. Also if we find a partner with a car, we'd be happy to pay for all of the gas, park fees for entering the park, and beer.

 

The schedule is a little flexible, but we will be heading to Shuksan later in the week.

 

Anyone interested, please send a PM, or leave a comment here.
