At least the route page here on SP is missing. For such an excellent route I hope someone can build another page to join the many quality routes on Rainier. Cheers!

Are there any good climbing spots near st. george that are for a true begginer, I have never been climbing outside of a gym, so it needs to be pretty easy with fixed anchors.

I wanted to post in the MontanaIce forums but I couldn't get a name registered. If anyone is interested, available, and willing to go climb some ice this upcoming weekend in Hyalite please send me a PM.

I am in Butte for the next several weeks for work and I brought a small assortment of passive rock gear, a couple screws, a rope, and my ice tools. I think this is the last weekend that ...

Headed to Denali starting the middle of May. Looking to take my BC Touring skis and skins for the trek up to 11k, then stash them. My concern is that they are currently mounted with 3-pins, and my only 3 pin boots are a pair of Rossi BCX11's (Leather).

Is it warm enough on the lower mountain to ski this set up to 11k camp? I may add some Vapor Barrier socks with expedition weight ...

Anybody here climbed East Ridge of the Grand? I am planning to do it over this 4th of July weekend with three partners (two pairs of two). Wondering about how much snow gear I should take, any decent bivy spots on the way to the summit, things to watch out for, beta, etc. We are thinking to take two days car to car.

Thanks!

Here in Reno, Nevada, a friend of mine and I have been organizing the Yahoo hiking group. Last year we organized a trip to Mount Whitney, which was very successful.

Now, my friend has decided he wants to hike at least two California 14ers this year. He has already done Whitney and White Mountain Peak. I am not recommending Muir or Russell since they are so close to Whitney, and he is familiar with them. ...

I heard that there is some. Is it any good? I'd have a place to stay 20 mins from there if I go out there.

I'm headed car camping to Anza Borrego and Death Valley and would appreciate any suggestions for places to explore with the two pretty severe conditions that 1) we only have 2wd, and 2) I'm with my 8 months pregnant wife, so we won't be covering much ground or doing any climbing. However, I am interested in getting off the beaten path if possible-- even if it's only a little way off! Any suggestions for favorite ...

Is it accessable right now? I am planning a trip next week or the week after to do Colchuck and/or Dragontail. I was hoping to see if one can get up there.

Also, does anyone have any experience doing both Dragontail and Colchuck from the Colchuck glacier route in one shot? What should I expect if I want to do both?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
