This is a fun little climb with stunning views of the beautiful Mt. Stuart and surrounding area. The approach is a long one, so come fit and ready to tackle some miles and elevation gain (10mi roundtrip w/ 3,200ft gain).
Priority for IB students needing a graduation climb until July 4th, email me for permission once registration opens. Open to all after that, but permission still needed otherwise you'll be removed from the roster. Rope leads reach out any time, thx!
To be communicated by email, but it's a long day, so expect an early start. Recommend sleeping at Ingalls TH the night before to maximize sleep and minimize stress.
