This will be a three day climb of Snowking.  First day to camp, second day summit and take some time to enjoy the views, third day back to the trailhead 

This is a long approach with bushwhacking, so participants should be pretty fit.  I like to lead trips with people who are on the quieter side and who don’t mind early starts.

When asking for permission, please let me know what other trips with at least 5000' of gain with overnight packs you have done recently.   Please also include one gpx track of the route to the summit, so I know you have actually read this and understand what the trip will be.

TBD
