Mt Rainier June 2024 Short
Переглядів 78419 годин тому
We had Disappointment Cleaver (DC) route Rainier climbing permits June 6-8, 2024. They are hard to get. Checking in with the climbing rangers at Paradise, they confirmed that the recent storm had dumped 3-5 feet of new snow between June 2-5 (plus wind loading as the route is leeward) above 12K. This buried all the fixed ropes and protection maintained by the guide groups. There was also a huge ...

Ski Tour Alto Diablo San Gorgornio Wilderness
watched whole vid before reading the description. Good call on bailing on a summit and way to make lemonade out of the situation. I was confused when watching the vid and the sunrise part came up, then it made sense
Did you summit?
Doubt it. They weren't even leaving Camp Muir until sunrise.
No, see description
Great video
Thanks!
Good video. I wanted to go up Mt Whitney that way when I lived out there years ago, but never got around to it. 😞
How big are the spikes on the crampons you’re using? I am planning a trip for June 5th and I am thinking the crampons I have would not suffice on the ice chute
All general mountaineering crampons have similar size spikes. Dedicated crampons for ice climbing are different. This route is easily done in standard crampons and ice axe
Awesome video , thank you for capturing all of it . We did the exact same route , in April but with better conditions ( crevasse was not exposed yet )
We are going on June 4th. Do you have any recommendations of the gears rental around Mt. Whitney? Thanks for an awesome vdo!
Do you guys think the winter climbing route that you guys took, as opposed to the 99 switchbacks, would be reasonable to do with microspikes and ice axe? We have our permit for May 28th and would like to not have to purchase crampons.
I would not take microspikes. Just rent crampons. A number of places rent
I am going May 29. Crampons and microscopes, and ice are are essential. Please be well prepared.
Just went and summited in micro spikes and the axe. It’s possible
Micro-spikes won't cut it on some of those slopes and traverses. Crampons are the best bet, don't fall for the sunk cost fallacy, of "oh I didn't really need to rent crampons" Crampons, ice ax, and helmet. Any help would take quite a while to get up there. The 99 switch backs depending on snow melt are probably going to have sections where you have to go up the slope anyways and angled traverses. Definitely take crampons
@@senorroch7710 Did you go up the chute or the 99 switchbacks?
Very interesting thanks! I wonder if you really need a Whitney Zone permit for this. When summiting from Guitar Lake you don’t need one if you’re going back out that way too. I don’t know where exactly you pop onto the main trail from Discovery Pinnacle, but I wonder if it’s possible to never touch the main trail east of the “Whitney Zone Begins Now” sign when looking eastward from trail crest? Or if the rangers would let it slide even if it pops onto the main trail within a few hundred feet of that sign.
You could stay out same as guitar lake. It's cross country. You can hit the trail wherever you plan to
You have to keep your chickens in an enclosed fence.
Kudos to you both. Not an easy trek without snow. Enjoyed your descent vicariously!✌
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Subbd &👍13
How absolutely AHHHHMAZING!!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! What a blast!
Cool stuff.
I'm sorry for your loss but the furrbaby was hungry.
epic
Very nice weekend.
Interesting, and looks fun. I also like the music
2:02 what’s that chute with the tracks in it?
It looks like you had a fine time and a happy birthday up there. You even got to blow out a candle. Thanks for making and sending this. It looks like it was kind of a snowy overcast day, but it looks like you had a good time. Love, Dad

Beautiful,, beautiful wedding and lots of happy faces. 😊
Beautiful family love!
Simply wonderful, in spite of the wind.
Tons of potential for a ski area on that mountain.
Thanks for the vid! Well done! Looked like a blast!
Went up around the end of the lake. Long way. Great hike. I misdesignate domes constantly.
Super helpful video! Did you have to get a day pass for Whitney Zone, or is it possible to do this with just a wilderness permit from Cottonwood Meadows?
Happy New Year!!
So fun to see them. Many things that you get done in a year, such a great family
Where exactly is this
That would get very stinky if left!
Hallo kawan
Very cool place. Have you checked out wind caves yet?
Absolutely amazing
Thank you for showing this. Didn't know about this route.
Which month is this? May?
Great Trip, Music, you had a full gale on the summit..when I started climbing in 1979 in EBs, Poway was tiny on the way to Bouldering on Mt.Woodson from OB. Back in 1998 we had a dump like yours and climbed a 200ft 1ft thick 80 degrree Ice Tongue 3-4 ft wide on the North Face of Tahquitz. Rapped off under a huge overhang, W 5.9 W5. Glad to see San Diego representing and sharing the beauty and isolation of SoCal Mountaineering. I live in New Mexico now, the SD years were great, surfing empty Baja, N. County and Sunset Cliffs, Blacks, climb Mission Gorge, Cuyamaca, Canon Tajo, Joshua Tree, Sailing offshore racing boats Point Loma SDYC, Skiing Old Mammoth Hangmans Hollow and all cornice runs. So Cal still can be a special extreme place for those that dare leave the cities...LoL 🏞😁
Beautiful trip. I spent my first day on a snowboard on Baker, and definitely need to come back and take care of some unfinished business.. :)
Awesome video! Well done. On my list to ski it.
Nice length, nice music, nice editing.
Beautiful video. Well done. Nice skiing too😊
Very nice!
I did this but went straight up the face. Didn't use the saddle and didn't traverse the face. Used some pretty tricked out alpine snowshoes. Much shorter. This was right after easter 2023. Plenty of snow, one guy on the traverse yelling to me I took the harder way, but the traverse with gear on my back seemed very sketchy. Basically there were post-holed boot marks on the traverse in spaces i would have been trying to plant a snowshoe. Much easier to plant those crampon like spikes in those shoes going straight up and be able to drive the legs with full force in one directly than trying to sidehill, one wrong lean and its over...falling sideways, knees ankles all twisted and knarled. At least going straight up the face much better chance to self arrest. But really it wasn't that tricky, I was just tired by that point. Im sure there is harder stuff out there, like snow creek, but for a first try this was a big deal for me. As I was putting on my snowboard gear at the summit, a telemarker popped up and we took a run down together. Got back near dark. Snowboarding at the bottom below the 9100 foot mark is tricky, in the trees, skis would do much better. 2023 was plenty of snow all the way down to the ranger station and lower. Much of the rest of the ski down the trail is strictly toe side which sucked for a boarder but a split guy or xc or alpine ski guy could do it pretty fast. I jacked up my knee and the mountain kind of told me to get more fit and strong, but I did it, and can look up at that peak every day I see it and know I did that. Instead of saying ill do it. It's done.
Fun! Great video and good job out there. Just for academic purposes... you actually did a much better line than Big Draw. You did San Gorgonio North Face. Big Draw is the (haha) big draw between San Gorgonio and Jepson. Its a great zone with many good lines!
Thanks for the clarification.
Thank you! Great vid
Nice
Well sadly now they shut down the mountain if there’s snow….
I wish I was as good a skier, navigator, and planner as you. Great video. I believe the name is San Gorgonio, no San Gorgornio
