Controversy: Rainier 500 Summits-Claim

by **Klenke** » Fri Sep 17, 2010 12:24 am

I have climbed Mt. Rainier one time. A personal record shared by many.

I climbed Rainier one and a half times.

Doesn't a "day trip" from Paradise to Camp Muir to Paradise count ???

Can't recall a date 40 years ago, so he must not have climbed it. Hell, off the top of my head, I can't recall the dates of ANY peaks I've summited, and certainly not anything from that long ago.

If they didn't have sunburns, then they were just full of shit.

Let me introduce you to the typical POTD and POTW on SP.

I do understand that people like to impress others, I mean check out my profile picture : )

To be honest it is kind of annoying to have a core group of people that vote on each others photos religiously. It is nice to see new members make it in # 1 spot. I seen the same photo of the same mountain make it to POTD like 3 times! It isn't against the rules or anything..just weird. Maybe I am just jealous : ))

Sorry Vitaliy, no more votes from me......your photos SUCK :wink:

That certainly counts for a half. Do it one more time and you'll have two summits under your belt.

It would be amazing that anyone who has done a mountain more then 100x would remember any dates. Given how long he has guided on Rainier I would have expected that 500 would be a conservative number.
