Leader's notes

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.

The plan is to stay at Lewis Meadows the first night, hike the next day to Glacier Meadows, summit on the third day and hike back out to Lewis Meadows, then back to the trailhead on the 4th day. Permits have already been purchased.

When asking for permission to register, include relevant recent conditioning. 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.
