The Expedition Skills Seminar - Shuksan team led by RMI Guides Jackson Breen and Calvin Jiricko reached the summit via the Sulphide Glacier today. The photos show blue skies and lots of stoke! They have a few more days of training on the mountain before they will descend. They chose to summit today due to possible deteriorating weather.
Nice work team!

It was a clear, calm and perfect day with views all the way to Mt Jefferson. The teams started down from the crater rim around 7 am. Once back at Camp Muir they will repack and continue down to Paradise.
Congratulations to today's climbers!

The Five-Day climbs led by Jackson Breen and Will Ambler summitted Mt. Rainier around 7:10 am this morning. They reported clear skies above with clouds building around them, so they opted for a touch and go on top to keep the team moving. They'll return to Camp Muir and stay one more night before returning to Ashford.
Way to go team!

Due to a snowstorm, the RMI Guide Jackson Breen and Team turned around at 8,500 feet yesterday during their summit attempt. The team is descending to the trailhead today.

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.
