Haggen's Grocery Store in West Olympia at 6 am for carpooling. Leave promptly at 6:15 due to limited trailhead parking.
Bring plenty of water. The group will carry a rope and anchors in case they are needed. It's a thrilling scamble trip. Leader has lots of climbing experience and patience with beginners. It's all about having a fun trip. Can spent time reviewing stance, hand holds and foot placement for those who request it.
