Arc Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I think this has been the worst year of my life thus far (Lost my job, was homeless, lost my girl, almost lost my car and my mind) and just want to begin a new year up on the summit of rainier. PLAN: Solo any route on the southern aspect, spend the night/camp up on the summit Dec 31st 2006- Jan 1 2007.....and ski down. My permit has been approved, and I will be going "fast and loose". If anyone is interested and can get a solo permit, can ski or ride like the devil, then you are more than welcome to join me up and camp that day/night. I will be going regardless.................Just wanted to know if I should bring 2 shot glasses or not. Talk soon. Quote
high_on_rock Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 A few years ago I was jobless and homeless, and spent the entire winter at RedRocks drawing unemployment ("on the state's climbing team"). Best winter/spring of my life. E Quote
chris Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Arc, With the road as damaged as it is, I think it will amazing luck if they get it open in time for a one night ascent. You better get ready for a 7+ day expedition! Quote
Arc Posted November 12, 2006 Author Posted November 12, 2006 Many people here know who I am and have seen that I do what I say I am going to do.... I don't think you get it do you. Quote
Arc Posted November 14, 2006 Author Posted November 14, 2006 Well, got 2 guys, one from PDX, and the other from Japan, they claim they can hang. The route of choice will be Thermogenesis. Decending the Mowich face. The offer still stands for anyone else..........Just might turn out to be party as always. Quote
Arc Posted November 14, 2006 Author Posted November 14, 2006 Yeah.....Its just as funny as Messner staring in a Norelco commercial. But I assure you, that I will complete my climb. Quote
ivan Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 when did thermogenesis become a "southern aspect?" enjoy - should be cool to have the mountain all to yourself as no doubt it'll be until the roads fixed Quote
TeleRoss Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 good luck dude, might want to check on the condition of the Carbon River Rd. Think it might be washed out in a couple spots. Quote
Arc Posted November 15, 2006 Author Posted November 15, 2006 Someone had the nerve to PM me and call me a sick fucker.....lol Quote
genepires Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 given that you are going though hard times, solo or not, your determination to do that route regardless of whatever conditions are, sounds like a suicide mission. I hope you are kidding about this and if not, then don't drag clueless people to their death also. Quote
Fairweather Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Many people here know who I am and have seen that I do what I say I am going to do.... I don't think you get it do you. Your statement on another thread just three days ago: "No worries, as of tomorrow, I will be back in the park for the next few months...Longmire/ Paradise/ Muir. I'll post some updates tomorrow and see if I can get the TLM station online again." So how did it go? I could see the mountain all day from Tacoma, so naturally I was thinking about you up there fixing that remote. After all, I know that you always do what you say you're going to do. Quote

I hope you are kidding about this and if not, then don't drag clueless people to their death also. LOL.......Im going solo, so are they (by the way...these guys are used to hard climbs, they arent weekend warriors). Suicide mission.....lol..........I consider this route a warm up for the rest of the real winter. Im going up there to party, test a new tent, and ski some 60 deg snow, why?............because I can.

Off_White Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Be careful, I remember hearing some guy named Divot may have disappeared on that route. Quote
faster_than_you Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Be careful, I remember hearing some guy named Divot may have disappeared on that route. I recall that Off_White. But wasn't it Icefall, or was that Crampon? Oh well, now it's Arc? Oh my God, The Nodder Quote
WageSlave Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Be sure to wave your macho internet cock from the top of Mt Rainier. Quote
Arc Posted November 17, 2006 Author Posted November 17, 2006 I'll make sure I do Colin....And it would probably reach your mouth in Seattle. Quote
Arc Posted November 17, 2006 Author Posted November 17, 2006 LOL....Thanks for making me laugh once again Dechristo. BTW WageSlave......I would do anything I say here off the internet and in person....including waving my cock, so if you doubt that for one minute, bring it, I know you have more to lose than I, if you are smart....back the fuck up and figure out that you may be way over your head with me.....even from the safe confines of your computer.
