Meet at the Mt Walker parking area at 0800. Walk up to TH. The timed portion begins at the TH. Put 40# - 45# in your pack - we will weight it at the parking lot. Bring a watch to keep track of your own time. I will be the official timer for credit. Bring food, water, electrolytes to sustain yourself. Dress appropriately for the days expected weather. Your pack weight into a typical glacier climb will be over 50# and you will have to carry a rope that may weigh as much as 10# wet.
You can drop your pack weight to 25# at the TH sign for the second lap.
