We will hike in to Leroy Basin Saturday, and perhaps scramble 7 Fingered Jack in the afternoon depending on party energy.  Sunday, we will look in on Mt Fernow, and Monday hike out or scramble 7FJ if we didn't do it on the way in.

In case of smoke, fires etc, backup plan is to do the 3 day Stevens Pass to Icicle Creek traverse scrambling Snowgrass, Bulls Tooth and Grindstone en route.

This is a high-end scramble, so please have completed a few T4/T5 scrambles.
