Meet to depart from the lower Alpental parking lot at 6:30 am.
Depending on conditions, bring ice ax and crampons. As of this scheduling, conditions are not known. There is often snow and ice at Pineapple Pass to the beginning of the climb. This climb takes around 12 hours, depending on skill level and conditioning of registrants. Days are longer and headlamp is mandatory. Just be prepared to be on the trail for a day. Do not schedule other activities that you need to be home for because there might be a slower individual which dictates climb progress.
