The Expedition Skills Seminar on the Kautz Glacier has been training on the mountain all week in warm temperatures. This morning was their summit attempt. Due to a significant amount of icefall on the route, the team had to abort their summit bid. The team is safely working their way back to camp and are descending from the mountain today.
Did the Wilson still go, or did you have to go up the fan?

Good effort to the team! Any comment on where the icefall was and where they decided to turnaround?

RMI Guide JM Gorum called from Camp Schurman (9,440') around 9 am, the Expedition Skills Seminar - Emmons June 25 - 30 team had made it safely back to camp after making their summit attempt this morning. The team encountered soft snow and poor route conditions at 12,600' which caused them to turn back. The team will spend their third and final night on the mountain tonight. Tomorrow they will pack up camp and descend to the White River Trailhead and return to Rainier BaseCamp in Ashford.
We hope they had a great week of training and climbing on Mt. Rainier!

It's a beautiful day to be in the mountains and the Five Day Climb teams took full advantage. RMI Guides Casey Grom & Alex Halliday led their teams to the summit of Mt. Rainier this morning, reaching the crater rim just after 5 am. Blue skies, lights winds and good route conditions were the theme today. The group will return to Camp Muir and then continue their descent to Paradise later today.
Congratulations to today's climbers!

Continue the success….the triumph….the journey…..
AND ENJOY the beauty❣️

The Expedition Skills Seminar - Kautz team reached the summit of Mt. Rainier at around 8am this morning. RMI Guide Avery Parrinello repoted a beautiful day of climb, and the route through the Kautz Ice Chute was in great shape. The Team has started their descent and will spend another day training and practicing alpine expedition skills to prepare for future climbs like Denali or Aconcagua.
