Rainier, Fuhrer Finger




We climbed and skied/snowboarded the Fuhrer Finger on Mount Ranier last weekend. It was my second trip up there and a much more interesting route than the first. More pics here

Mount Rainier, Emmons Winthrop (may 29th, 2007)

Dave Tarby and I skied/snowboarded mount Rainier (14,410' tallest in WA) on Tuesday. We weren't totally committed to the idea since we only had 2 days for it, but the forecast was so good we decided to do it. Hiked up from the White River campground at 3,400' to camp Sherman at 9,400' by sunset, then slept there for the night and started towards the summit at 6:00am. Reached it by 11:30, hung out for a while and then headed down. Back at the car by 2:30 and drove to Missoula (which was it's own adventure, I'll elaborate later). Had ideal weather (hard to come by there) with almost no wind or clouds. Picture link
