The Expedition Skills Seminar on the Kautz Glacier has been training on the mountain all week in warm temperatures. This morning was their summit attempt. Due to a significant amount of icefall on the route, the team had to abort their summit bid. The team is safely working their way back to camp and are descending from the mountain today.

Did the Wilson still go, or did you have to go up the fan?

Good effort to the team! Any comment on where the icefall was and where they decided to turnaround?
