Meet at South Renton P&R at 6:15am for carpooling.

8am at Sunrise Point packs on ready to go.

I intend to take the Hidden Lake route to Palisades Peak, drop back down into the saddle then rock scramble up the north ridge to Marcus, climb down to the south saddle and follow the south ridge all the way back to the Dege Peak trail, without dropping back down into the valley.
