Rainier, Liberty Ridge this October

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Both my climbing partners for Liberty Ridge have cancelled on me. I would still like to do the route, weather permitting of course, before snowfall makes it too dangerous.

 

A 3-4 day climb sounds reasonable with the option of going faster if we feel like it.

 

Obviously glacier travel and crevasse rescue expereince is required, as well ice climbing experience.

 

I am a nurse practitioner and a mountain guide. This will be one of the bigger climbs I've done but is well within my technical capability.

 

Who wants to join me!? I'm flexible on dates.

I think the glaciers have receded tremendously over the last 80 years. I did Liberty Ridge July 15, 1995 and had great conditions. Went back mid July 2013 and it was a huge pile of rubble from the Carbon all the way to Thumb Rock. Season on LR is getting earlier every year it seems.
