TBD, but we'll be making an alpine start so likely camping at the trailhead will be your best option.
Contact Mentored Leader Aleesha Wilson for all trip inquiries. Note this is a one-day climb, so you will need to have good conditioning--please let Aleesha know your fitness when requesting permission to join. Priority to Tacoma Basic students until 6/1--if you are with another branch please wait until then to request leader permission.
