Mentored lead for Petr Praus.

Early season climb - may mean a longer approach if the road is snow covered.  Also subject to change depending on availability of permits.

The climb is full at this point but life happens and someone might drop out. If you meet the requirements, you can register for waitlist. Please keep in mind this climb might be potentially more strenuous than expected due to a longer early-season approach.
