Great basic climb. A few notes:
1. Must be in shape!!! This is a long, hard day and we will be moving quickly. You should be able to do Mt. Si with a 20-30lb pack in 1:45 with energy left at the end. Please do not request if you cannot do this. When you request, list your RECENT conditioners/climbs.
2. Expectation to have fun and be flexible.
3. We will go only if we can find a rope lead or two and the weather looks very favorable.
4. Glacier students must have rappel training as we will be rappelling onto steep snow.
Ashway Park and Ride Sat Night for carpooling; time TBD
