======================================================
Required:
- Previous T5 rock scrambling experience! (Volcanic Neck at the Experience Field Trip does not count) 
- Comfort on rock with LOTS of exposure!!
- Helmet
- Mountaineering boots (no climbing shoes)
- Headlamp with good batteries
- Extra fresh batteries
- Harness (such as a webbing harness tied with a water knot)
- Locking carabiner (or 2 nonlockers)
- Cord loop (for a klemheist or prusik)
- NW Forest Pass for each vehicle (not a Discover Pass)

For safety reasons we'll only do this trip if there was zero rain in the prior 2.5 days, the rock is dry, and the forecast is rainfree...if the trip is canceled due to wet rock then there won't be a backup destination.

This is an after-hours evening trip, finishing in the dark.
Leave your ice axe at home!
Trip takes roughly 5.5 hrs from car to car.
Sunset is at 9:05pm.
We'll descend the easy trail down the north side of Guye.
Might need to allow extra driving time for rush hour.
