- Primary objective is Jolly Mountain which should be straightforward (check out past trip reports on peakbagger)
- Secondary objective is Skookum Peak depending on how the day goes
- It's not exactly clear how far up towards the summer trailhead we can go by car. Google Search says the gate is open but I can't find the actual page on the USFS website; thus elevation gain needed might vary
- Pace will be moderate with 5 - 10 minute breaks roughly once per hour
- Check the "Required Equipment" tab for items to bring
- No leader permission required but please consider that the elevation gain on this trip requires some conditioning; if you are unsure about your readiness for this trip, send me an email.
- There will be snow on the route and this qualifies as a snow scramble for scramble students
- I will send out a logistics email late on Monday
TBD; but likely departing trailhead no later than 7:30am
