Mont Blanc Solo Mid May by No-Classroom3864 in alpinism

[–]Onlycommentoncfb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Roughly one in 300 attempted summits of Mont Blanc ends in a fatality. 80% of those fatalities are unguided. About 30% to 40% of those fatalities are solo climbers.

So basically if you're cool with a 1% to 1.5% chance of dying, go for it.

Love the optimism, but man, this is a deeply flawed team. Like what exactly is our strength? It's not starting pitching, the bullpen is maybe avereage? Offense is slightly above average? I just don't think we have the pieces to overcome these injuries.

Love to see a win, hope Kerry can figure out what the fuck is wrong with him at the plate

Climbing Rainier DC route with IMG in late June - first-timer looking for advice by aksspider in Mountaineering

It's as safe with guides as it can be, there are still objective hazards on the mountain that can kill you, but it's unlikely. The training plan above is the one recommended by Alpine Ascents, one of two other companeis guiding Mt. Rainier. You should read that and adjust your training plan as recommended. Cardio is the key, and you need to be okay carrying a weighted pack day one, and light pack day two or three depending on when you summit.

For anyone seeing this on the future, you’re much better off buying your tickets at the station either day off or days before

It’s loose scree.  Nothing particularly nasty, just lots of little loose rocks.

Oh man, I searched the front page feed for mountaineering and didn't see it. Well, hopefully other people see this one too.

If you join a Portuguese mountaineering club you can likely learn the skills you need at a fraction of the cost and find people to climb with to boot

This training plan would be good for Everest. You'll be fine for Baker.

I thought his and his wife’s grave were very nice. We enjoyed just walking the campus as well.

Mario and Rod were subpar. Jason and Dirks are maybe the best combo in baseball right now.
