Elevation: 10,080'
The Five Day Climb June 16 - 20 enjoyed a beautiful morning on the mountain and view from Muir Peak. Route conditions prevented the teams from going above Camp Muir today. The teams began their descent from Camp Muir around 9 am in the sunshine with a cloud deck below them around 7,000'. All climbers will return to Rainier BaseCamp early this afternoon.
