4:30 am, Eastgate P&R, E side of lot, outside parking structure (under the 142nd st overpass)
This will be a one-day climb!
This is a challenging but moderate mixed route. Participants should be mentally prepared for exposure and likely runout between suboptimal pro placements. The crux can have a short section of vertical ice.
Please be *flexible*. The climb is posted for Mon-Tue and we'd pick the better day. Or possibly *any* day that week. Midweek is best to avoid crowds when the route is in.
