Disappointment Cleaver
Disappointment Cleaver with Ezra Danciu, Matt Poole, and Patrick Collier. Teamed up with Patrick at the Muir Hut who lead our roped team. Deep crevasses and high winds at the summit. Awesome trip!

Dissappointment Cleaver, perfect conditions!
After having been shut down on Labor Day weekend two years earlier due to weather (after flying up from LA), we had perfect conditions this weekend on the Cleaver! Left Muir snow field at 1am, summit at sunrise and all to ourselves (girlfriend and I), back by 10:45am. Great Great climb. Even ran into someone I met on Aconcagua two years earlier! Small world!

Rainier Summit
Absolutely perfect weather on the D.C. route. We took the relaxing route and stayed one night at Camp Muir then went to Ingraham Flats and left about 12:30 a.m. to summit at 5:45 a.m. 25 mph winds and 28 deg. on top but not a cloud. On the way down, the clouds came about 10:30 am so we were glad to have made it up early. We took a friend who had never been up before and he loved it! Another Mountain Climber created. Right on!
Finally getting around to signing some log's here, did this in 08, I think. Routine climb with good friend and a guy we had never met before. Beautiful day. Crowded route. Altho referred to as the "dog" route, I think the DC is actually quite interesting, lots of variety.

Rainier in a Day
I now understand why not very many people climb Rainier in a single day. This was much harder than doing it in 2 days. The DC is getting pretty broken up but is still manageable for the time being. There is currently only 1 ladder crossing and 1 sketchy zone which it seems as though there may have been a ladder a few weeks earlier there.

1st summit!
Summited via Disappointment Cleaver with Alpine Ascents group. Started with 8 at Paradise, 2 dropped before Muir, remaining 6 summited just before 6:00AM after leaving Ingraham Flats around 1:00AM. Perfect windless night but very warm on the descent.

Yay!!
3rd attempt, 1st successful. Disappointment Cleaver route with RMI guides. One guy brought a 6 pack of Rainier beer to the top. Beer was good. Some other group brought fireworks and champagne. It was a very warm day.

Big Party
Every member of out party summited, over 60 guys in the Army. The climbing rangers said they thought that was a record.

Awesome Summit
Awesome climb via the Emmons Glacier. Spent one night at glacier basin and another at camp schurmann. Fun stuff! Our group of 11 and then another 3 of us all made it to the summit!

Kautz Ice Chute
Fun, and tough, route up the Kautz ice chute. Finally made it to the crest after one failure and one crater only summit.

Snowstorm came through just before our attempt -- I don't think anybody summitted for a day or two.
