The Four Day Summit Climb August 27 - 30 were unable to reach the summit today due to high winds and deteriorating weather. RMI Guides Mike King and Gloria Roe led their teams to the top of Disappointment Cleaver before making the decision to turn back as the winds were high and the cloud cap that had formed around the summit began to creep lower on the mountain. The teams returned to Camp Muir and will descend to Paradise this morning.

What a day!
From the full moon that illuminated our wake up, to the radiant sun that shone all day, we had an incredible climb up the Fisher Chimneys Route, to the Curtis Glacier, to the summit pyramid. Few attempt the entire route from Lake Ann, but determined climbers seemed to push this guide up the mountain, and the long feat, was executed with ease. We're now crawling into our sleeping bags, after our camp dinner that tasted heavenly, since all we had all day was chocolates and bars...
The smoke from fires seems to be fading, and the ambiance from camp is rather idyllic.
We'll hike out tomorrow with hopes of enjoying a hearty brunch in town.
Good evening from Lake Ann!

Summit! RMI Guide JM Gorum with 100% of his team are standing on top of Mt. Shuksan. The views are beautiful and the weather was great. No wind and blue skies for this crew. They will begin their descent shortly to camp and check in with us later today.

We are back at Sandy Camp, our high camp on the Easton Glacier. We got a break from the rain today, waking to clearing skies and a beautiful morning. Our team worked hard and did a great job, and everyone made it to the top! The views from the summit looking towards Shuksan and Mt. Rainier were spectacular. We plan to leave high camp at 2pm and will be in touch when we get back to town this afternoon or evening.
