LEADER PERMISSION REQUIRED

Due to the distance, gain, and time of year, leader permission is required. You should have a history of trips of similar distance and gain. Backpacking experience is a plus!

• This is often posted as a Basic Alpine Climb, though everything I've read indicate it is a scramble. 
• Both summits are Bulgers.
• North Gardner is a Smoots peak.
• Both summits in the Peggy Goldman Washington Scrambles book.
• If weather forecast is poor, this trip will likely be canceled. 
• In your request, please answer the following:
  • As a 3-day trip with over 8k gain and 27 miles, this is a strenuous trip. What has been your most comparable trip this season? How much distance and gain, and how many nights out?
