RMI teams led by guides Joe Crawford and Hannah Blum set out to summit Mt Rainier this morning, but turned around at the top of the Dissapointment Cleaver due to route conditions. They are on their way back down to Camp Muir and will be back in Ashford later today.

Well…certainly a disappointment for the climbers and the guides. But…given the conditions and everyone is back safely, not an outcome that qualifies for criticism. Thank you and best regards to all involved in this climb.
