primary332 Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 I am a medical student in Colorado, I am taking my first board exam March 30th, after which I have 2 weeks of before rotations start, after which I will really not have any time off for a year. I've really been wanting to climb Ranier, and this seems to be my only available time. I have yet to choose a route, I am looking for someone who would be interested in climbing with me. If anyone would like to discuss possible routes, discuss meeting up for the climb, that would be awesome. I am contemplating trying a ski decent, if that interests you. If you are interested, contact me! Quote
dave schultz Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Sounds like a killer idea, I am game for early April, especially a ski descent. Weather is obviously pretty fickle, but April should be a little more reliable. Keep in touch as it gets closer to the date, any specific ideas for dates, or will you do a short notice flight to catch a good weather window? daveschultz125@gmail.com Quote
jacemullen Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 I'm not doing anything so I am fine with catching a flight at the last minute from San Diego. Quote
ElectricEric Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) I'd be down, I can take some time off of work too so I'm flexible for the days. Ski descent sounds fun although I should disclose I'd plan on snowboarding down. Edited December 9, 2012 by ElectricEric Quote
primary332 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Stoked that some people are interested. If you guys are serious I will contact you a little closer to the date. ElectricEric- Snowboards are fine, as long as you don't call me brah. Would you be skinning in with a split board? Dave Schultz- Unfortunately I have a fixed window. March 31st- April 14th. I have to be back at school on the 15th, no exceptions. I am thinking I will be there one way or the other, and if weather looks like it will work out, stay near the base of Rainier until a good window opens. If the weather looks like total crap and no chances of it happening, I will likely head over to Olympic and do some backpacking. Have any of you guys been on Rainier before? This will be my first.
