This is a tough trip - we'll run it as a carryover, descending the Fremont Glacier to the Park Creek Pass trail to complete the circuit of Mt Logan.  This is not a first climb for 2018 students - please have completed another similar trip of >15 mile approaches before considering this one, and email me the details.

We should plan to go as light as possible, but no lighter :-)
