11/23/11 C2C Hike

[clint]

Hi folks. I've never been up the C2C but want to go on 11/23. Start at around 6am. I'd like to go with someone who has done it before. Anyone want to join?

I do a 5,000ft hike every 10 days or so and smaller ones several times a week. I am not trying to break any speed records so I won't be blazing to the top but shouldn't slow anyone down. Perfectly happy with a nice "fun" pace.

I am familiar with glacier travel and will be bringing my crampons and ax (10+ yrs on Rainier and other 14ers)

Odds are very good that folks will be going up Skyline next Wednesday to burn off calories in anticipation of the Thanksgiving feast

When I did Skyline yesterday, we used microspikes and poles on the traverse (7.4 K) -- crampons and ice-axe were not necessary and would have been excess weight to lug uphill.

Please stay tuned, hopefully we'll be able to "make your day" Sorry, couldn't resist

Miles of smiles,
Ellen
