We'll meet at the parking area near mile 20 on Cascade River Road at 7:30 a.m.
We'll climb Eldorado Peak on Saturday before camping on the McAllister glacier. On Sunday morning we'll climb Dorado Needle and then take a side trip across the Inspiration glacier to scramble up Klawatti Peak before heading out. This trip will cover a lot of terrain and elevation in two days so climbers need to be fit and efficient.
