TBD, info will be provided pre-trip. Be prepared to get up early on Saturday, we'll have to get our permits @ the ranger station when they open prior to starting the climb.

DO NOT REGISTER WITHOUT EXPLICIT LEADER PERMISSION. An arduous approach with a muddy bog, 3rd class scrambling, steep snow/ice and potential for turning around depending on the conditions. If you're not prepared for  some Type 2 fun and a really long climb, this trip isn't for you.
