We will aim to summit Hessong Rock, Mount Pleasant, and First Mother Mountain. We will plan on a moderate pace with short breaks every 60-90 minutes.  Expect to help with routefinding. You should be comfortable with T3 rock scrambling.

The forecast looks to be on the chillier side, so please be prepared with extra layers, although I do not expect there to be snow yet.

This trip will be canceled if there are rain or thunderstorms in the forecast, or if the air quality is unacceptably poor.

Meet at the Spray Park trailhead at 8:30am. Optional carpool from South Renton Park and Ride at 6:45am. All details will be sent in the pre-trip email.
