Basic Glacier Climb - Mount Daniel/Lynch Glacier
This is a 2 day climb of Mt Daniel, with possible challenges due to the late season. It is a good choice as a first glacier climb. The entire climb is fairly long but our pace will be moderate. This is a good opportunity for rope-lead experience!

The first day we will hike in and camp a Peggy's Pond. Then an early start for the ascent. The pace will be moderate, but the ascent is fairly long -- and we have to hike out. There may be challenges getting onto and up the glacier this late in the season.
Priority to Everett Basic students who need a glacier climb. If you are not from Everett, I will put you on the wait list until about a week before the climb. This is also a good opportunity to serve as a rope lead (from any branch).
TBD. We will carpool, and the first day is not a long one.
