Basic Alpine Climb - Unicorn Peak & The Castle Traverse

This will be a one-day climb of Unicorn with a traverse to The Castle. We will also attempt to summit Foss and Pinnacle based on the efficiency of the party and route conditions. We will pick the better of the two days based on weather. This climb assumes Phase 2 of reopening for both King and Lewis County.

Leader's notes

This climb assumes Phase 2 of reopening for King and Lewis Counties. Participants should also reside in a county that is in Phase 2 and live within 125 miles of the trailhead.

This climb will be challenging as we will be climbing two peaks in a day (possibly 4). There are also exposed slopes and 5.6 rock moves required. Please only sign up for this climb if this is well within your ability/comfort level.

We will plan on climbing on Saturday, but will shift to Sunday if weather on Saturday is undesirable.
