Great basic climb.  A few notes in priority :)

1.  Must be in shape!!!  This is a long, hard trip and we will be moving quickly with heavy packs.  Please do not request if you cannot do this.  When you request, please list your RECENT conditioners/climbs.  You should be able to do Si or equivalent with a 25 - 30lb pack on in 1:45.

2.  Expectation to have fun and be flexible.

3.  We will go only if we can find a rope lead or two, the weather looks very favorable. 

4.  The goal is to be back on Sunday.  Leave Friday night.  Hike to camp on Saturday, Summit on Sunday, Hike out on Sunday.
