First day is pretty strenuous - 6.5 mile bike ride, followed by 8 mile hike to Honeymoon meadows.
This really isn't a good first trip for basic climbing students, please only request to sign up if you have experience with long backpacks/scrambles (preferably with a bicycle)
(Note that I will not respond to any request for sign up until Feb 1)
