Mt. Rainier: August 17th Update

August 17, 2013

Posted by: Dave Hahn

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 12,300'

Our Four Day Summit Climb teams failed to reach the summit this morning due to a team member falling ill and needing assistance. The teams reached 12,300’, the top of Disappointment Cleaver, before they needed to turn around. Everyone is now descending back to Camp Muir and we expect their arrival at Ashford Base Camp around 4:00pm.
