Mt. Rainier: Five Day Climb Turned by High Winds

May 15, 2024

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mount Rainier

Elevation: 11,200'

Our team woke to winds high enough to hold you still and push you around. We pushed to first break at Ingraham Flats where we decided that would be our high point. A lot of steep terrain above would not have been fun to be on in any amount of wind. Everyone has been enjoying a bit more rest before making our way back down to Paradise later this morning.

On a bright side, a fox was spotted in camp. It appeared to be healthy and quite quick at running across glaciers.
