Back At Schurman: CB Update

11:42am
We made a good decision and called our summit at 12000ft at 6:30 this morning. Grey clouds at the summit, the aforementioned ferocious wind and varying degrees of altitude sickness on the team... Prompted us to stop and take in the sunrise.

The sun rose behind clouds an rain in the yakima valley. I could see the rain falling in front of the red sky. To the north the sun lit up the top of Mt Baker in a peachy glow. And above us the mountain was spinning off little wave-form venticulars. An all the while the wind was blasting.

So we made the smart decision and headed back to more oxygen.
