My brother is going on a trip with the Jewish Outdoors Club to climb Mount Ranier- and he needs a 5500 cubic inch internal frame backpack. He just wants to borrow one- since he normally only does 5 day trips and never needs one so large. If anyone has one to lend or knows of anyone who may have one- please email me ASAP.
My brother is 5″4 so if anyone is between the heights of 5″1 and 5″6 it will do- ladies and gents either or.

Don’t have a backpack, but fyi, there is a treehouse inn at Mt. Rainier. You can stay overnight.
that last one was me.
Uh my brother is climbing the glacier- its an expert mountaineering trip, you have to be an experienced climber as well as able to do mixed ascent (ice and rock climbing) Not an inn type trip
I know. I wasn’t envisioning him in the treehouse on the actual trip, but it’s worth noting for others who care. I think I get that the two of you are not the inn type. The treehouse isn’t really a cushy deal. But, I get that it’s cushier than you guys. Kol Hakovod.
Hell, you know what? Check out the cedar creek treehouse site and the stairway to heaven photo gallery that’s on it. I don’t really know a guy out there that wouldn’t want to reconnect with his treehouse soul as an adult. And then, don’t forget, even a true outdoorsy woman would find this fun. What was that old Irish Spring commercial? “And I like it too!”
I hope that your brother enjoys his climb. I have tried the climb twice and still haven’t made the summit. The last time was about 22 years ago and I pooped out at around 12,000 feet. I just wasn’t in good enough shape. It’s still on my todo list.
