Lead guide Aaron Diamond called in one last dispatch, following the team’s descent of the West Buttress route and subsequent flight off the glacier. The team worked well together and were a strong crew! Unfortunately, they encountered very persistent and dangerous conditions above High Camp, which took away any opportunity to attempt the summit. We invite you to look over the report we posted about the situation that led to the difficult decision to essentially close the summit for the season. You can find that report HERE.
In the meantime, here’s Aaron Diamond!
