Elevation: 12,300'
The Four Day Climb teams led by Seth Burns and Jackson Breen reached a high point of 12,300 feet on Disappointment Cleaver before making the decision to turn around. Despite the clear skies above, recent storm snow, challenging route conditions, and difficult travel all contributed to the call to stop their ascent short of the summit.
Well done to the team for their hard work!
Sometimes it is wise to turn around. It’s a hard decision, yet most likely the right one. Live to see another day, then try again! Great update! God Bless!

Being on the safe side is always a good choice. Been there done that on the Emmons Glacier Route years ago. Maybe next time you’ll reach the summit.
Keep on trekking.
