Mt. Rainier: Gorum and Emmons Team Turn at 12,200’ due to Winds

July 24, 2019

Posted by: JM Gorum

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 12,200"

The Expedition Skills Seminar - Emmons July 20 - 25, 2019 led by RMI Guide JM Gorum made their summit attempt this morning from Camp Schurman. Unfortunately high winds forced the group back to camp after reaching 12,200'. The team has returned to high camp, Camp Schurman, and will spend their final night on the mountain. After some additional training they will return to the trailhead tomorrow and arrive back to Rainier BaseCamp tomorrow afternoon.
