The Four Day Summit Climb teams led by
RMI Guides Zeb Blais and Jake Beren were unable to make a summit attempt of Mt. Rainier this morning due to weather conditions. Jake reported steady winds of 50 mph overnight with gusts to 70 mph. As of 7:30 am conditions had improved slightly with decreased winds and partial clearing. Snow accumulation at Muir was estimated at 6-10 inches.
The teams will depart
Camp Muir around 9:15 en route to Paradise and then continue down to Rainier BaseCamp in Ashford.
The Four Day Summit Climb teams led by RMI Guides Win Whittaker and Geoff Schellens were unable to make a summit attempt of Mt. Rainier due to poor weather. The teams experienced high winds, hail, rain and lightening overnight, fortunately they remained safely tucked in a Camp Muir.
The teams will start their descent from Camp Muir later this morning and will arrive at Paradise in the early afternoon.
Tyler Reid and the
Expedition Skills Seminar Team - Emmons called from Camp Schurman. All is well with the group. They dressed to climb during a small weather window @ 2am this morning but were shut down by hail and lightning. They have around 4 inches of wet snow at Schurman. I estimated about a foot of new up high on the mountain and Tyler says it is probably more.
They are training intermittently today and will head down tomorrow morning.
Both the Four and Five Day
Mt. Rainier Summit Climb teams tagged the top! RMI Guides
Mike Haugen and
Pete Van Deventer reported a sleet/snow mix and moderate winds. At 8:45 a.m. they radioed basecamp to say they are beginning their descent.
At 7:05 a.m.
RMI Guide Brent Okita and his summit climb team were five minutes from Mt.
Rainier's crater rim. The route work, completed yesterday, was great and well wanded. Brent also reported great weather.
Congratulations to the team!
