Blustery Summit for 8/24 summit climb

The 3 day Muir team summited this morning at 0645. Despite blustery conditions, low visibility, and rime ice on everything we made our way to the crater for a brief and very cold respite before beginning our descent. Nice work Ian, Brian, and Walter negotiating ladders, crevasses, fixed lines and steepness en route to summit glory.
