GEAR:
- Ice Axe is always required.
- Snowshoes with aggressive points on the bottom such as MSR.
- Crampons. They will probably NOT be required. I will check and let you know if they are recommended.
- Avalanche shovel and/or probe. These are good to bring but not required.
- Forest Passes are required for this trailhead.
ROUTE:
From the parking lot we will hike up the Granite Mountain trail, taking a left at the first junction and following the trail several miles until we reach a point above Ollallie Lake. From there we drop down and cross the outlet, then climb the slope on the other side. At the top we gain the summit ridge and follow on good snowpack to the summit.
