June 16-19 Emmons climb Summits!

Lead guide Jonathon Spitzer called in reporting that all is well and the team was safely back at Camp Schurman last night after summitting yesterday. With prevailing winds from the south, the team didn't encounter the forecasted high winds until closer to the summit. They experienced 50mph winds on the summit, but descended safely back to Camp and were resting up by the afternoon. Today they will hike back to the White River trailhead, and return to Seattle.
