Roster
Required Equipment

Required Equipment

  • The Ten Essentials
  • Helmet
  • Mountaineering Boots (trail or approach shoes will probably suffice for much of the approach; sometimes steep snow lingers on the steep talus slope below the actual summit block, which is why the heavy boots and ice ax are listed.  If you choose not to wear/pack along the heavy boots, you MUST be confident of your footing and step-stomping on steep snow)
  • Ice Axe
    Standard scrambling downclimbing kit: locking 'biner, cord loop, runner-built or other harness.
    We will be able to pump water at Foggy Lake and possibly at stream crossings, but please have at least two liters of liquid-carrying capacity.
