Durston X-Mid 2P Snow Pitch on Mt Rainier
Просмотров 82321 день назад
Here are some comments on the Dursten X-Mid 2 Person (V2) pitched on the snow of Mount Rainier at camp Muir, elevation 10,000. I purchased this tent on-line for $280 (May 2024) and have no connection to Durston Gear. All the details of the X-Mid 2P are available on their website (durstongear.com/products/x-mid-2-tent-ultralight-backpacking). Summary: The tent did really well for our conditions ...
Mt Rainier June 2024 Short
Просмотров 984Месяц назад
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 ...

Beautiful video. Amazing views. Enjoyed watching the video. Thanks for sharing. 👍9
This video perfectly captures the experience of Spring skiing on our WA volcanoes, with no unnecessary hype. Nice!
randomly popped up in my feed and so glad it did! going up the cables in October.
What an amazing trip, thanks for sharing
Wow great camping location, your so lucky👍
Thanks for making this video! Detailed and to the point, happy to see I could potentially use my x-mid 2P like this. Did you not find the need for an inner? The reason I ask is I considered purchasing the solid inner to help with wind in conditions like this
The inner is mostly mesh and won't help w wind or warmth really. Pitched tight against the snow (sealed w snow on top of tent edge), no wind will enter. The only reason for inner tent is bug protection and ground protection. You'll have more usable space in the tent in snow wout the inner tent. In non-snow conditions, I'll take the inner. A solid inner will help w warmth, but if all edges are sealed against snow, the single wall will block wind.
Thanks for the video. One concern I had with the x-mid in winter was the vertical trekking poles getting pushed lower and lower into the snow pack. Did you increase the surface area at all under the poles?
The snow was pretty consolidated under the tent. We stomped it down flattened w skiis pre pitch. The poles did not sink at all our pitch. If pitching on dry powder, this would be a concern for any similar tent
I''ve never seen this type of usage for the x-mid in RUclips. Cheers!
It looks like it was quite exciting. I'm glad you had a good time.
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.
