Leader's notes

This is a conditioning hike with priority to Olympia Alpine Scrambling students. Registration opens to general public starting at noon on Sunday 2/11/23.

Goal is to get from trailhead to top in less than 2.5 hours (one way). We'll go at a moderate pace. Students expected to carry weight equivalent to that of a scramble (about 20 lbs).

We will take a quick layer break 15 minutes in and a short water/snack break at 1 hour mark.

Additional information regarding conditioning for scrambling students provided at field trip on 2/10/23.
