asong Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Hi budies, I am trying to climb Rainier via Gib Ledges. I tried on 3/18/2011 but failed due to bad weather. I climbed Rainier last year via DC and is going to clim Denali this June. So this would be my final training for Denali. I am thinking about 5/13 - 14 or 5/20-21 depending on weather and partners. Ping me if you are interested in. thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swedish BB Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I could do May 6-7 or 6-8. I led a group up Kautz a year and a half ago and would love to return to the mountain. Would that weekend work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
