Mt. Rainier; Five Day Climb Team Turned by Weather at 13,000

RMI Guides Pete Van Deventer and Andy Bond led their team of climbers on the Five Day Climb May 3 - 7 to 13,000' today before deteriorating weather forced them to turn around.

The team completed their Mountaineering School on Tuesday and ascended to Camp Muir yesterday for their first night at 10,080'.  They will return to Camp Muir today for their final night on the mountain.  We look forward to seeing them at Rainier BaseCamp tomorrow.

A valiant climb made by all!  Good work, climbers.  Sorry you did not reach the summit, but glad for your safety.  <3
