Mt. Rainier: August 28th Update

Posted by: ,

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 10,400'

Facebook Logo
The Four Day Summit Climb Teams, August 25 - 28, were unable to reach the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning due to high winds and precipitation. RMI Guide Eric Frank reported that the teams left Camp Muir before 2 am on their summit attempt but were forced to turn around at 10,400' because of heavy rain and wind. Visibility at Camp Muir was very low and wind continued with gusts estimated at 40 mph. The teams are expected to start their descent from Camp Muir around 8:30 am PT. We look forward to seeing the groups at Rainier BaseCamp later this morning. Updated 4:11pm PST The Four Day Summit Climbs led by JJ Justman and Billy Nugent have reached Camp Muir. The guides are making some hot coffee for the crew while they settle in and prepare for their summit attempt tonight. Check out the video JJ sent on their ascent to Camp Muir today!

Total Bummer Steve and Connor! Saw yesterday’s team did not make it either. Was hoping you would. Guess you will just have to climb again! Take care. Be safe. ~Audrey

Steve and Connor,
I am so sorry that you didn’t make it to the top.  Be
safe on the way down.  See you when you get home.

Hello everybody. This is Jake calling in from Boston Basin up in the North Cascades checking in after a great day of mountain adventure. Eric Frank wanted to let everybody know that they are working well on Torment-Forbidden Traverse and they were on the top of Torment, I think around noon today. Nice work fellas. Thomas Greene and I are out with James, James and Steve up out on Sharkfin Tower today and heading for the West Ridge tomorrow. So cross your fingers for good weather and we will be checking in tomorrow afternoon. That's it from the Basin. RMI Guide Jake Beren
