12:30pm Tibbets P&R Issaquah. South across the street from 2 story P&R. Willing change to 1pm to accommodate 1/2 workday folk assuming group ok with later camp set up.

Must be in good condition, comfortable going up and down steep snow, scree and loose rock terrain with exposure.  TH is 2 hour drive from Tibbets. Estimated arrival camp 6:30-7pm. Saturday start 5am, possibly earlier. Currently setting group size at 8 to better manage loose rock issues.
