TBD 

Please research before requesting sign up.  Mileage and elevation gain will be much more than what is posted.  Klawatii, Primus, Dorado Needle and Austera only.  We will skip Eldorado as most who are Intermediates have climbed it.

May need to shorten the trip for fewer peaks if weather/conditions do not allow us to be there for so many days.
