Click [+MORE] to read all notes before requesting permission:
- If I have never climbed or scrambled with you before, the odds are you will not be granted permission to register.
- October tends to be wet, and this trip will not go unless the rock is dry
- The assistant leader spot is reserved for an existing Climb or Rock Leader. Please email me if interested. If a second leader signs up, we can take one additional participant, as we will attack the summit block as two groups of 3.
