After two days of heavy rain kept the Five Day Team hunkered down in the hut at Camp Muir, conditions finally began to improve around 7:00 AM this morning. Although the team was unable to make their summit attempt, they made the most of the break in the weather by venturing out onto the Cowlitz Glacier for a scenic walk and additional mountaineering training.
Led by guides Henry Coppolillo and Bailey Servais, the team is now departing Camp Muir and heading back to Paradise. They’re expected to arrive in the early afternoon, wrapping up their adventure with resilience and camaraderie despite the challenging conditions.

Beth - Given the rain and wind this morning, today was not the day for a climb .... maybe another day. Camp Muir’s shelter beats a tent to hunker down and watch the storm. The mountain will still be there waiting for you when you come back. See you next week.

So sorry you couldn’t make the climb. The weather forecaster said only experts would have a chance. Was looking forward to hearing about it. Mom

Tom Mulvey,
It seems you are getting plenty of acclimatization there. Hearing any stories to tell us?
