To be determined. This will depend on where everyone is coming from, but ideally we'll all catch the ferry to Kingston that leaves Edmonds at 6:20 am.
The slope leading to the ridge faces north, so there may still be snow; don't forget your ice axe. The pace will be moderate, but it will be a fairly strenuous trip. Because the alpine vegetation near the summit is so fragile, I'm limiting this trip to only 6 scramblers.
