Mount Rainier

By
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

February 26 Loffelsterz

   Destination: Erica Bruennle for sleeping, Loffelstertz Lake for Eating 11km, 46 minutes. Fast roads Temperature: down to 0, a little frost in the morning but not much.  OR Intersteller Bivy, EE 20 deg quilt, Thermarest Xtherm, Rumpl, Rab Dagwalkinjacket Three scoops of Huel still wasn't enough, but the Cajun pasta was pretty good. Ate dinner by the lake, but it was too windy to be comfortable sleeping there.  Will likely try and stay at a trekking Erlebnis place next time with a proper campfire. We'll see.  Sleeping was cold, slept with the Rumpl on top of the quilt/bivy which probably compressed the down. Managed a reasonable night's sleep either way. Sleep system still needs work.. Blaek coffee is great, and two is more than enough.
