Not sure why tracker isn't working we are at Ingrahm glacier. In tents until midnight then try for summit. 50 mph avg wind speed so weather is sketchy.

That's a hell of a place to set up a tent.

At least it looks like the weather is below you now.

Tigris, weather doesn't work like that on mountains like Rainier. The peaks make their own weather. If they were having 50mph winds yesterday afternoon, they may have been blown out last night! Hope they summit safely.

Left camp at midnight. Made summit! Just before sunrise. Got an LSU flag pic and then all phones and camera batteries shut down due to cold. Back at 2nd base camp. Ears still ringing from wind
