Description
Looking for a partner(s) for a climb of Rainier sometime around early August. I was thinking over a long weekend as I currently do not live in the Seattle area.
I have attemped the mountain 3 times on 3 different routes and summitted 0 times due to bad weather and timing, all unguided - this time I have decided to instead go in high season to improve my summit chances.
Kautz glacier would be the top of my list for routes, but could be convinced to do a more appealing route.
I would love to connect with some folks who are laid back and know how to rope up, are comfortable with glacier travel, and crevasse extraction.
Cheers,
Andy

| Hello, I have summitted Shasta and Hood, and Elbert under snowy conditions. Used to roping up, and climbing slopes of solid ice. Interested in your early August trip. Any dates in mind? | Posted May 15, 2012 3:52 pm |

| That is pretty much when I was planning to go with a climbing partner. Would definitly be interested in forming a 3-4 person team. Was thinking of just doing the DC route to minimize chances of getting involved in a one man crevass rescue attempt, but would have no problem doing a less traveled route with a 3-4 person team.
Only requirement is no more than one night out, since I like to travel light. Prefer a one day up and down when possible. | Posted Jun 15, 2012 4:31 pm |
bfb38 | Compatible | | | A friend and I are planning to climb Rainier this August sometime between the 12th and the 17th and we'd ideally like to find a third for our rope team. We are considering DC, Emmons Glacier, Winthrop Glacier, or Fuhrer Finger. Neither of us have been up Rainier before. email is BFB38@cornell.edu | Posted Jul 10, 2012 2:06 pm |
MICtilley | In. | | | Hey Andy,
If you haven't already figured your plan out, I'd be game for an attempt on the Kautz. Let me know if you're interested! | Posted Aug 1, 2012 5:45 pm |
