This will be a very strenuous one-day climb. A high level of fitness is required. The knife-edge ridge at the summit of Eldorado Peak is very exposed. Do not sign up for this climb if this is a concern for you.
We'll get a very early alpine start so sleeping at the TH on Thursday night is highly recommended.
