Mt. Rainier: Kautz Seminar Turn Due to High Avy Conditions

May 24, 2022

Posted by: Dustin Wittmier, Bryan Mazaika, Tatum Whatford

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 11,000'

RMI Guide Dustin Wittmier and the Kautz seminar team called 11,000’ their high point. This morning, Dustin reported that high avalanche conditions would keep them from climbing. Despite the route conditions, the teams enjoyed beautiful weather on their ascent, great views of Mt. Rainier, and were able to use their time to train and learn glacier travel techniques, anchors, and more to prepare them for their next big adventure!

The team will conclude their program tomorrow with a celebration at Rainier Basecamp.
