Twin Lakes TH @ 8am. Leader will likely spend the night in Bellingham or at the Twin Lakes TH.
NW Forest Pass or equivalent required for parking. The road to the TH needs a high clearance vehicle.
This peak is known for its views, but also for its lousy, loose rock. Please do your research to make sure this is terrain you would be comfortable in. Mountaineer Chris P, wrote a good report with fabulous photos. Lots of other posts on this peak online as well.

The pace will be on the slower side of moderate. Please be prepared to be patient as we'll need to stick together or go one at a time when on the loose rock. I'll also need time for photo taking and enjoying the views. Be prepared for a long day.
Request permission only if you're serious about going. If I don't know you, please include the names of a couple scrambles you've done that's been on loose, chossy rock.
