PLEASE READ NOTES: Trip is weather dependent. This is not a summit climb, and we will not climb the pinnacle. Pace will be casual - not for conditioning. Be prepared to camp on either snow or rocky ground. A side trip to view the Devil's Kitchen might also be possible, and would add about 700' feet gain. Olympia Scramble students have first priority until June 15th.
