Meet at the hairpin turn 6:00 am saturday morning. I'll be coming up the PCT from Stevens. At least one leader needs to drive up to rainy pass friday evening and bring my gear.
This is a fantastically fun climb. It's an great intro to the harder basic climbs. There's one heady step around a steep corner and a fair amount of exposure so you need to be a fairly confident climber.
I'll be coming off 130 miles on the PCT so I might not smell so fresh. :)
