TBD.  Most likely we'll leave the campsite around 7am.

Dates are **flexible** depending on weather, campsite reservations, climbing permits and other factors.

Climb will be canceled or dates changed in the case of poor weather forecast.

If you encounter an error when trying to register for this climb (most likely with ABW veterans who never officially graduated or current students), don't worry...just email me to tell me you'd like to  register for this climb.   I will check email weekly in the two months leading up to the climb.
