Sign-up priority will be given to the Everett basic students but after Snow 1 and all potential candidates will be vetted as this is one of the more difficult basic climbs. It's a moderate technically but very strenuous climb mandating great climbing fitness condition . When you will contact the leader to request permission for sign-up please provide a description of your training regimen and examples of hikes / scrambles (with significant elevation gain) done and planned starting March 2023.
Other branches please do not contact the leader before 6/15/23.
