Leader's notes

The plan is to hike up to Paddy-Go_Easy Pass and then climb Paddy-Go-South. Then we'll either continue to Tacquala Peak or else return to the pass and do Paddy_Go-North. If we have the energy and it's not too hot, we may do all three. The only one of these peaks I've done is Tacquala, but that was from a different direction, which means all of the scrambling will be exploratory for me. So, plan to help with the navigation. The overall pace will be on the slow side of moderate.

The forecast as of 7/31 is for temperatures a good 15 degrees lower than when I had originally scheduled this trip.
