Trailhead early morning. Details will be emailed to participants.
Climbing and Scramble students are expected to carry the weight required by their respective courses on conditioning hikes. I will weigh packs at the trailhead. The goal is to reach the summit within 3 hours with occasional short stops. Micro-spikes are required and poles are strongly recommended. I do not anticipate enough snow to justify snowshoes.
If you are NOT a Climbing or Scramble student, do not register until after 7 pm on Friday 2/16. If you would like to be assistant leader, please email me for permission.
