Great basic climb. A few notes in priority :)
1. Must be in shape!!! Do not request if you you are not. When you request, please list your RECENT conditioners/climbs. You should be able to do Si or equivalent with a 25 - 30lb pack on in 2:00.
2. Expectation to have fun and be flexible.
3. We will go only if we can find a rope lead or two, the weather looks very favorable.
