Emmons Climbers turn at 13,100' in deteriorating conditions. All safe at Camp Schurman

The Aug. 10-13th Rainier Emmons climbers made a great attempt at the summit yesterday, but turned around at 13,100' in deteriorating snowy and windy conditions. The team made a safe descent to Camp Schurman where they were glad to be in their tents during overnight rain. They are now working on packing up camp and descending down to the White River trailhead, and then will be heading back to Seattle this afternoon.
