Great weather
Climbed Ingraham Direct with Mitch Barrie, Doc Chuck and KT. Great weather, no wind and warm temps. Fantastic view. What a difference from the previous year. The moon lit the way, ladder somewhere on ID and watching dawn approaching while merging routes above the DC were some of the highlights. Temps got so warm our Axes punched right through some of the snow-bridges on our descent.

"The" Mountain.
Climbed with a group from idaho state university. I wanted to climb this for years. It was very spiritual for me: http://mslasky.blogspot.com/2009/10/rainier-2000-older-trip-report-for.html

Winter Attempt
Excellent but cold weather conditions (rare!).
Terrible snow up high on Gib Ledges- final chute was an avalanche waiting to happen. Turned around as a group, confident that we had made the right decision. So close...

Next Time
Climbed with AAI and raised $5,000 for the Climb to Fight Breast Cancer. Turned around at 12.7k on the Emmons Route...not my day.
we did it in one very long day since we could not get camping permits.

Mt. Rainier
Ascent via the Emmons Glacier. Crux was navigating through the crevasses in the dark. Ended up doing a high traverse beneath the bergshrund. Conditions were perfect -- long-sleeve t-shirt and a shell were all the layers needed until arriving at the saddle. Saw a bear in hiking out.

The big one for WA
Finally climbed this one after two previous attempts. The one that got me into climbing in the first place, looking at a 14K snow-covered mountain from sea level in the middle of summer. Have since climbed it two more times (DC twice, Emmons once). Have also attempted the Kautz but got weathered off.

DC Route
Climbed Rainier during very clear weather, but scorching temperatures down low. Beautiful peak, great experience.

Climbed Rainier via Emmons and 2 attempts on the Tahoma. Beautiful mountain, awesome and incredible.

DC route
Drove down to the Longmire parking lot from Vancouver in the evening, hiked up to Camp Muir the following day, left the hut around 2:30 for a slow slog up the DC route. Off track in the cleaver following a group ahead of us which wasted some time, by still a slow summit by 10:30. Back to the hut, nap for a couple hours, hike back to the parking lot, and drive back to Vancouver by about 1am. Impressive glaciers!

60hrs Round Trip
Saw a weather window open so did the climb from NYC in 60hrs round trip. A new record? ;-)
DC route...quite the slog.

Left Muir at 3:30am after coming back down due to sick climber but was on the summit by 9:00am. In a trance...

Slept on top
Summited with AlexeyD (my then 16-year old son). Don't remember the exact date. Camped at Ingram Flats - (beautifull), acclimatized, and then summited and spent the night in the crater (planned) - very neat experience.

Liberty Ridge
Climbed Liberty Ridge with RMI. Took 3.5 days to do the climb; bivied on Curtis Ridge, Thumb Rock, and in the summit crater.
Climbed it in 96, 97, and 98. We didn't make the summit in 98 due to weather. Always in March/April. Winter accents in prep for Denali. Tele ski down from Camp Muir. Good times to RMI / parking lot.
