Update Received: May 27, 2014. 11:31pm PST. The weather report for the morning of the 27th had turned for the worse: a forecast of 6-12″ of snow a day, meaning that by Friday there could be between 2-4′ of new snow. With the last few trip days closing in and the weather not working in their favor, 45 MPH winds and and -25 degrees at High Camp, the team made the decison to retreat back down while they could safely pass through Windy Corner before the worse of the weather hit.

They are safely back at Base Camp in high spirits and waiting for the planes to come in and take them back to Talkeetna.
