Day 1:
Flew into PDX at 1am July 2nd. Drove up to Rainier and bivied
until 5:30am. Drove to Paradise for permits. Left Paradise at 8:30am
and set up base camp at Muir.
Day 2:
Left camp at 1:40am and cruised the ledges. Entered the final
glacier and were greeted by a whiteout, 40-50mph winds and freezing
temps. Had difficulty route finding around crevasses in the whiteout.
So at about 800 feet from summit, we descended to camp (route finding
was a bit of a challenge), packed out and headed home.
