Mt. Rainier: Four Day Teams Stopped by High Winds

June 17, 2026

Posted by: Joe Hoch, Matt Tucker, Oliver Sperin, Jess Wedel, Henry Coppolillo, Kat Porter

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 10,300'

The Four Day Climb June 14 - 17 led by RMI Guides Joe Hoch and Jess Wedel were turned around by high winds at 10,300'. The telemetry at Camp Muir is showing wind gusts up to 48 mph. The teams returned to Camp Muir and enjoyed a bit of rest and perhaps a nice sunrise. They plan to descend from Camp Muir around 9:30 am. We look forward to seeing them at Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon.
