Kautz and 3-day climbs descend in wet weather

While the sun has returned this morning, it wasn't soon enough for the the July 22nd Disappointment Cleaver and Kautz climbs. The DC climbers got 6+ inches of snow overnight on the 23rd and it kept snowing throughout the day, with windy conditions. They could see our Kautz team's tents over on the Wilson glacier, where folks were staying dry and warm, but didn't have a break in the weather to move higher on the mountain. Once again, nature proves to be unpredictable during the typically most stable high pressure weather in Washington (July and  August). The system has moved out now, and we are looking at a beautiful forecast for the weekend!
