This is a strenuous climb with spectacular alpine views in a seldom visited wilderness area.
This is a strenuous hike, and great conditioning is a must. You must have climbed or completed a conditioner hike with one of the trip leaders prior to the climb. Logan will be running 2-3 conditioners up Mailbox Peak for conditioning in April/May/June for this purpose.
Preference to Tacoma BAC students until June 1st.
