Mt. Rainier 雷尼爾山 - 四千米級的挑戰 2011

WanchaiBoz · 发表于 2011-8-5 22:04:54

Ended up we're hanging out inside the Paradise Inn to wait out the rain and chill. Bill and Patch came back from the registration office and distributed the Blue Bags.

Use the "Blue Bags" to carry out human waste. They contain one clear bag, one blue bag, and twist ties. To use the "Blue Bag," defecate on the snow away from the climbing route and rest areas. Collect the waste using the light blue bag like a glove. Turn the blue bag inside-out and secure with a twist tie. Place the blue bag in the clear bag and secure with a twist tie.

After almost 80 min and TL decided to start the climb regardless the wet weather. Our destination of this evening was the lower camp from the beaten path. We camped at 1600m West of Alta Vista and at the bottom of Nisqually Glacier.

It was a bless the rain stopped when we're setting up the tents and ready for the evening!

Day 3 Lower Camp

Woke up with better weather than yesterday! Apparently it rained pretty hard last nite but I was too tired to notice it with ear plugs!

Today we would be practicing the proper use of ice axe, (no self arrest due to the wet weather condition!) Belay techniques.

Day 4 Lower Camp - Camp Muir

Today we relocated from lower camp to Camp Muir with all our gears. We're planning to stay there for 2 days and start the summit on Thursday evening. The weather was perfect and setting the stage for the nice summit day.

谢谢分享过程！

怪不得看你前一阵在研究炉子等设备，原来是为这个做准备。

等你贴完了再提问。

Summit Day

Camp Muir - Cowlitz Glacier - DC - Crater Rim - Columbia Crest

Had a nice dinner around 5ish and went to bed before 6pm. Woke up at 10pm as planned. Everyone roped up and ready to roll by 11:30pm. Headlamp on and ice axe on the side. Weather was perfect! Attempt to summit had begun. We were told to carry tons of food and at least 3L of water. Pressure Breathe and Rest Step are the key!!

We separated with two teams of 12. Four in one rope team. Total of six rope teams altogether! There were already 2 teams started one hour ahead of us and 3 RMI teams right on our heels. Also had one solo climber to wrap it up!

虽然开始天气不好，后面是越来越好！后面简直是perfect!

听上去你们去之前并没有集体训练，在5天的爬山过程中边学习，边前进. 那前面就是自己进行体能训练，准备好装备，不够的或不常用的最后再租，是不是？

你们的领队是经常组织，每年要带队登顶几次，还是今年就这一次？

你从神马时候开始报名，准备的？谢谢！

Yes, it was awesome! I was a bit worry on the first day! Rain rain and more rain!!! Thank God I had the plastic boots!

It was a blessing that the rain stopped when we're pitching the tents on the first nite. Second day was cloudy but not a single drop of rain!

Yes, we're a bunch of strangers in a strange place! :wink:

They will provide you the equipments list and you can take it from there. I just rented the plastic boots but I will have some comments on that later on!

Dan is busy in Nepal and he does this type of trip only once a year! I met up with him last weekend and he's thinking the Emmons Winthrop route and stay at camp Schurman next year. The camp is less crowdy and less busier than Camp Muir! The Emmons route is a bit longer and steeper but you can stay in the camp for one more nite to recoup!

I registered 3 months prior to the trip!
