Preference given to Olympia basic alpine students. I plan to drive up the previous day after work and camp along Icicle Creek. Participants may come with me or drive up Saturday morning (allow at least 3 1/2 hours via Snoqualmie and Blewett Passes). Meet at 7:00 am at the turnout along the Icicle Creek road.
I've heard that the summit is quite airy!
