The Expedition Skills Seminar - Emmons, June 13–18, led by RMI Guide George Hedreen, had planned to make their summit attempt from Camp Schurman last night. However, high winds prevented the team from proceeding as scheduled. The group remained at Camp Schurman as the forecasted winds did indeed materialize.
Today, the team may spend additional time training on the mountain before spending one more night in camp. They will begin their descent to the trailhead tomorrow and are expected to return to Ashford tomorrow afternoon.
We look forward to welcoming them back and hearing about their experience on the mountain.
How has been today team with Nicole Wall?
