TBD. Note that this is listed as a one day climb but I intend to take two days to do it. Another group will be going in as we are going out and I have checked with the other climb leader that she is okay with sharing the route.
This is a priority climb for Gerry and Karl's sig. I will consider other participants two weeks prior to the climb if space allows.
