We will start early to take advantage of the daylight and hopefully beat the crowds. We may encounter snow on the approach. We won't hike particularly fast, but this will be an efficient trip on the way in, with a longer break on the summit to enjoy the view. We will climb as 2 teams of 2 and a team of 3. I will lead the team of 3 with 1 student on each of my half ropes.
0500 at the trailhead, with the goal of hiking out from the trailhead at 0530.
