Leader's notes

This is a long and challenging snow scramble with a moderate rock finish. The snow is steep in places, it will likely be icy, and very long sliding falls are possible. Therefore, strong footwork and ice axe arrest skills are a must.

In your permission request please explain your past experience with steep snow and the most strenuous trips or conditioners from the three months preceding the trip that demonstrate your current fitness level.

Meeting place and time

Meet up 4:45 at Stuart Lake Trailhead, hiking by 5am
