Mentored lead for Dawn Thomas.  Priority will be given to Olympia Basic Climbing Students who have successfully completed the basic climbing course.  Registration will open June 1, 2018.  Please do not contact the mentor or the leader prior to this date.  Meeting time and place will be determined closer to the scheduled climb date.   Contact Dawn Thomas for roster consideration at pitadawn@yahoo.com

The climb is really straight forward, however getting there can be challenging.   It is really a beautiful area and a wonderful climb, but please do not take the approach lightly.  Everyone participating should be in good condition to carry their packs (snow shoes, crampons, ropes, climbing gear) over snow and possibly boulders, then be able to successfully participate in the rock climb portion of this trip.
