*STRONGLY* recommend that everyone camps Thursday night for an early start Friday morning. There's a small camping area close to the TH. Once signup closes we'll try to coordinate travel plans.
Here's a nice description of the trip: https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/mount-david
I'd like to get started hiking by 7am.
You will want to carry plenty of water for this trip. Also- if one or more party members don't wish to make the final summit push, they may wait for the others. Please be prepared with warm/wind-proof clothing should that include you.
Due to the length and very-strenuous nature of this trip, you need to get 'leader permission' to sign up. However if you are a currently active scrambler or climber or hike leader, you are presumed to have that permission. I will be away for the last week in August so responding to LPR emails will have to wait for my return.
This trip will depend on good weather/low smoke. Wet weather / significant smoke will lead to my redirecting the trip to some other place, likely closer to Seattle (will request suggestions from participants should that happen).
