This climb is reserved for students of the 2025 Seattle Glacier Travel course until June 12. (but ask for permission any time).
I will give preference to students who need a climb to graduate and/or to folks who have volunteered at the Mountaineers in the last year.
When asking for permission, please let me know your Mt Si time (weight of pack and time to the top), and any significant hikes/scrambles you have done this year.
This climb will be successful if we are able to get on the glacier for some time; a summit is not expected.
Meeting place/time will be sent to participants, but expect an early start at the trailhead.
