======================================================
Required:
-- Wearing boots that go over the ankle, no low-top shoes at any time

Route:
The plan is a ridge walk from Longs Pass to "Not Hinkhouse" Peak, then Fortune Peak, then South Ingalls Peak. Then we'll stop at Lake Ingalls for a bit, then we'll leave through the beautiful Headlight Basin. See the map link below for more info.

Notes:
We'll only do this trip if the weather forecasts say blue sky, and the smoke forecasts are friendly.
Our pace will be slightly faster than average...on a scale of 1-10 the average is 5.5 and our pace will be 6.
Our group will stay together the entire time...no fast people way ahead and no slow people way behind.
You can leave all your snow gear at home (ice axe etc.).
For safety reason the minimum group size is 5 people, if less than 5 then the trip will be canceled.
Sunrise at 7:10am, sunset at 6:30pm.
Please arrange your own carpooling.
