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.
