Mt. Rainier: Four Day Summit Climb Turn at Disappointment Cleaver

The Four Day Summit Climb teams led by RMI Guides JJ Justman and Pete Van Deventer were unable to reach the summit of Mt. Rainier today due to gusty winds. The teams turned back after reaching the top of Disappointment Cleaver. The teams are descending to Camp Muir and then will continue their to descent to Paradise. We look forward to seeing them at Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon.

Thanks to JJ, Jess, and Bridgette for guiding on the climb.  I couldn’t have imagined a better experience. First of many mountaineering experiences, glad you guys were part of it.  Looking forward to my next climb and hope to summit rainier with you another go around.
