Mt. Rainier: July 18th - Update

The Four Day Summit Climbs led by Brent Okita and Gabriel Barral were forced to turn the climbs today at approximately 11,800' due to gusty winds and poor visibility. The teams checked in from Camp Muir shortly after 7 a.m. and reported windy conditions. There is a cloud cap on the mountain this morning that has descended to the top of Disappointment Cleaver at approximately 12,300'. The teams will be starting their descent from Camp Muir to Paradise later this morning.
