A quick update from lead guide Jonathon Spitzer on the Fuhrer Finger-
Jonathon
Yesterday we left Paradise with excellent climbing conditions on the
lower mountain. We had patchy clouds and a light breeze to help keep us cool on
our first day of climbing. We traversed
the lower Nisqually glacier and ascended up the Wilson glacier to around 8,400ft.
We spent the night here and woke up to heavy rain and
moderate winds. Our goal is to move up
to around 9600ft today on the Wilson glacier.
Thanks and we hope the forecast this weekend stays true!
