Note that this climb does not count as a Rock climb.

I intend to take the "scramble" route. (I think this is described as Route 2 in Olympic Mountains Climbing Guide book).  See Kathryn's trip report for Warrior.  Depending on the conditions we find (and the comfort level of the group), we may or may not use the rope.

Plan on bringing all your climbing gear, plus crampons, ice ax.

Day 1 - hike to boulder shelter

Day 2 - start early, ascend SE Summit, if time also ascend NW summit.  Head back to camp, pack up and hike out.

When requesting permission, please let me know of recent scrambles (or climb) that has a lot exposure and elevation gain.  Ideally with steep snow as well.  Pace is generally fast - approx 2.0-2.5 mph on trail (with the heavy packs).  As a point of reference, Mt Si in 1:50 for example (with the heavy pack).  Note I am out of town this weekend, so responses may be delayed.
