June 9-11 3-day Climb

The June 9-11th climbers enjoyed the first sunshine seen at Camp Muir in quite a few days on Sunday. The high winds and heavy precipitation of last week have created challenging conditions on the upper mountain. After scouting the route, and digging snow pits to check the snow stability, the guides decided the upper mountain is still questionable in terms of avalanche danger. The team woke up bright and early for a sunrise hike to the Ingraham Flats high camp, and will be heading back to Seattle later today.
