This is a strenuous hike and posted last minute. We want to ascend at a reasonable pace to avoid the heat have a good time. For that reason, no "guests". Mountaineer members only please. Please have done a similar hike of 3k'+ gain recently.
Also, look at recent WTA trip reports. Bug spray recommended. https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/granite-mountain
I am willing to take one other person in my car or ride with another person, meeting along I-90, if: We both wear masks, keep car ventilation on high, crack open windows. (Which of course means no AC). I have been doing that this summer and SEEMS to be safe.
