A grand slam of 4 classic Tatoosh Range rock scramble peaks! We will have a easy and scenic approach hike up to Pinnacle Saddle, then continue along a trail west where we will have to drop 600 feet to access Lane Peak, our first objective. This is listed as T5 I think mainly due to the descent. I will have my rope if we need it but from what I have read most groups are able to descend without one. Then we will head back to tag Denman, which is T2. Then Plummer which is a T1 walk up. The grand finale will be Pinnacle, which is T4. 

Please pack your protected downclimb gear, as I will have the rope.

Leader plans to stop for food on the way back either in Ashford, Eatonville, or South Hill/Puyallup

6:30am South Renton Park & Ride or 7am at South Hill Park & Ride.

Whoever has a MRNP or national parks/lands pass please bring it. Otherwise everyone bring extra cash to pay your share of vehicle entry fee.
