Hi all, I’m hoping for any recommendations on mountaineers that post regularly on social media, namely instagram. I’m planning on attending my first mountaineering course this year and would love to flood my feed with people who are informative and experienced. Thanks! submitted by /u/Wheelump [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m climbing Mount Baker via Easton Glacier with IMG in July. I climbed Rainier with them 8 years ago and had a positive experience, though the lack of sleep was a real challenge. My wife has never done a glaciated climb before, though she has very good hiking/backpacking experience. Any tips from those who have done this trip? submitted by /u/BucksBrew [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm heading up Rainier next month and am planning on doing the standard route up DC and camping at Camp Muir. I was hoping to not bring a tent up and just stay in the shelter. For those of you who have been up it - is there plenty of space in the shelter most of the time, or should I plan on getting there early to make sure I have a spot? submitted by /u/Spyagent1000 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m looking to get a set of La Sportiva boots for a winter MT Washington trip next year. I was looking at the G2 EVO as I like the use of the BOA lacing system. I wear a size 45 for most Scarpa shoe styles. Didn’t know if there is any sizing cross over or if I should go up or down. Thanks for the help. I’m new so pardon me. submitted by /u/easy_comp_44 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Already use ice bath, I stretch quite a bit, use the roller on my body and feet, and incorporate yoga in my strength training and heavily induced cardio routine. Obviously besides not over training, what are some other recovery practices you all use on down time while training for a big climb? submitted by /u/AB287461 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m looking for the most affordable 4 season tent for the quality. For the cascade volcanos do I even need a 4 season tent? I’ve heard it’s more about your sleeping bag. Any advice greatly appreciated, just starting out. submitted by /u/Hairy_Cherry_878 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
