RMI Guides Tyler Reid and
Eric Frank reached 12,600' before turning around due to avalanche hazard. It is a beautiful day on the mountain with light winds and clear skies. The cold temperatures from overnight are dimenishing with the sunshine. The team will be making their way back to Camp Muir after the guides spend some time working on the route. RMI Guide Tyler Reid said it was a difficult decision to turn the climb on such a beautiful day, however, conditions on the mountain were not safe enough for them to continue.

The
Four Day Summit Climb teams led by
RMI Guides Tyler Reid and
Shaun Sears left Camp Muir with an alpine start this morning but were forced to turn around at 10,600' due to high avalanche danger.
The weather at Camp Muir was clear with high clouds above. There was also a cloud deck below at around 6,000'. The teams began their descent from Camp Muir just before 9 a.m. We look forward to seeing them in Ashford this afternoon.
RMI Guide Andres Marin radioed from Camp Muir this morning. The
Four Day Summit Climb teams were tucked safely in the bunks at Camp Muir after a windy night. The cold temperatures, new snow and wind prevented the groups from making a summit attempt this morning. At 8:30 a.m. they began their descent from Camp Muir to Paradise. They will return to Ashford in the early afternoon.
