Basic Glacier Climb - Glacier Peak/Disappointment Peak Cleaver
Priority to Everett and Olympia Basic students till 1st May open for other branches later. This is a mentored climb for Neal Kirby (neal.kirby@hotmail.com>). Please contact him directly for permission. Notes from Neal K : When contacting Neal, also text him at 360-330-1392. Due to so much junk in email, I seldom look, but understand it is far easier to type and write, so after sending an email, send me a text, too, to let me know you have sent me an email inquiry about the climb. About the climb, this is a multiple day climb with 8,200 feet elevation gain carrying camping and climbing gear, around 45 pounds all but six miles of it. Needless to say, being extremely well conditioned will be very important. We will receive requests to sign up, but will hold off making final decisions upon review of candidates, training, and experience.
