Elevation: 11,200'
The Four Day Climb June 17 - 20 led by RMI Guides Win Whittaker, Henry Coppolillo and Claire Pennell consists of climbers supporting the American Lung Association of Washington and the Climb for Clean Air. The team enjoyed beautiful weather for all of their days spent on the mountain. Snow conditions and potential avalanche danger prevented the group from making a summit attempt. They enjoyed the sunrise from Ingraham Flats this morning along with some additional training. The team is now back at Camp Muir and plan to start their descent to Paradise around 10 am. Their program will conclude this afternoon in Ashford with a celebratory team dinner.
Nice work team!
