Summary:
Follow up Report
No signs of the climbers have been found. On Thursday, 6/4, the helicopter
noticed tracks on Tahoma Glacier. After talking with family members there
is the possibility that the climbers used this route as a route off the
mountain. They have used it before.
The search has now been focused on the lower elevations of the mountain (6,000
feet and below), specifically, Tahoma Glacier. Ground searchers will begin
again today. A dog team from the Seattle area has been requested. The NPS
has contracted a helicopter for search purposes. The family of the missing
party has also contracted a helicopter. The Army helicopters are no longer
involved in this search. The upper levels of the mountain (6,000 to 8,000)
have very low visibility due to rain which fell yesterday. Approximately
35 people are involved in the search, 7 of these are from Seattle/Tacoma
Mountain Rescue. The rest are NPS personnel from Rainier National Park.
The party has been overdue for 7 days.
