We will be going as far as possible up the mountain while still maintaining this trip's "Basic" status.
Note: I will be asking each participant to chip in for the cost of permits on this climb: $25 each.
Participants on this trip should be prepared to take part in the trip as full members, navigating, speaking up, and helping to make group decisions.
Permits have already been purchased.
When asking for permission to register, include relevant recent conditioning. Include pack weight and times. Request permission even if I have given you permission for previous climbs. Members who have volunteer experience with the club will have priority for this climb. If your request doesn't include the relevant info, or it is obvious that you did not read this entirely, it will be ignored.
