Barlow Pass Parking Lot @ 7 AM
We will ride our bikes on the approach from Barlow Pass parking lot to the old mining township of Monte Cristo (~ 8 miles RT) and lock them there.
Please research the route but generally speaking, once we get to Glacier basin from Monte Cristo we will be off-trail and on steep terrain pretty much the entire time.
Expect a long day!
While this could be a cool graduation peak, I would highly recommend only interested students with a few scrambles under their belt should sign up.
Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions.
