The Four Day Climb led by RMI Guides Eric Frank and Bryan Mazaika reached the Camp Comfort head-wall at 12,500’ and were turned due to weather. Eric reported fresh snow on the route and 15 - 30 mph winds. The team is en route back to Camp Muir.
Congratulations to Today’s Teams!
Great climb and fantastic views.
Brian, Ross and Abby were real professional guides on the mountain.
Next time I’ll definitely make sure I have more gas in my tank.
I may have tapped out if we didn’t turn around due to weather, not sure, but each time the slope leveled out I seemed to get a second wind.
Trip was everything expected and then some.
Again, thanks to our guides for a safe trip.
P.S. I still owe Wesley and Vicky a beer for borrowing the carabiner.
Vicky, if you have the pic you took of me and my son Wes, I’d love to receive that via email, along with other great shots you may have, like the sunrise in the clouds.
Great climbing with you all.
