JColinOlson Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I am looking for a fit partner to climb the Disappointment Cleaver route in a day with me. I will be in Washington (basically peak bagging) for a couple weeks. I am not even bringing rock gear this season. I don't have a partner in the area that would be interested in this, I mean - it is basically a fitness and logistics thing. I find that fun though. I am shooting for July 26-29th(it), weather depending, of course. I think that it could be fun to move really efficient (usually means fast) and see what time we could do. This is not some FKT attempt... But I have been piecing together times while I hike in this spring season and it could be cool to shoot for around 10 hours. If this interests you at all - send me a message. Some points: -I will make a point to come down the DC around a week before to assess it's condition. -If you want to do something beforehand to gauge compatibility I will be doing other stuff in the area two weeks prior. -This can't be your first Rainier climb - whatever your fitness. -You have to be fit enough for this to be feasible. I am based in Utah. I have my summers off. I have climbed Rainier a couple times, DC, Emmons, Kautz, Liberty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigdaneroberts Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hi Colin, Your plan sounds interesting to me. I'll be in town those dates, and the objectives align well with my interests. I did the DC route in August and was in training to attempt Denali this month. Had to travel to China several times this winter and move to Seattle this month for work. All of this put my Denali plans on hold. I'll be doing 5 volcanoes this summer as a consolation prize, and it would be great to repeat the DC at a more efficient pace. Here is my data for summit via DC on Aug 2015. It was guided, slow-moving, all within my Z1 HR. It was enjoyable, but not the challenge I was looking for. http://www.movescount.com/moves/move73121709#table-year=2016 Feel free to contact me at craig.roberts@duke.edu to discuss further. Best, Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
