kevbone Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Rainier is totally different. Most people don't even go to THE actual high point. Â So most people don't actually summit Rainier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I've never climbed it, myself, but that's my understanding... it's another 45 minutes walk around the rim from the dog routes to gain like 8-10' to the actual highest spot, so most people just opt to call it quits at the rim.

Â I dunno, I still tagged it last time even though it was a few minutes out of the way. There's a huge trough from the DC side to the side with the summit "bump" so, quite a few head there. Â As for pissing on the summit, generally, those that plan ahead piss a few minutes before getting there. Back to the OP - why not piss before the bergschrund on Hood? (or in it) :-) Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a "dog route" I suppose...  My specialty  d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the walk across it from the top of the DC is only like 15 minutes, not 45.  I can see why some forego the walk from Lib Cap to the true summit though. That's a bit more of haul.

dorianlee Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 One time I was boarding on bachelor way off trail in lonely nw territory, came round a corner to a full fledge female A frame complete with dirt star starring at me from hardly 5 feet away, pissing all over the snow. Odd position, guess she was too sore to squat.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
