Plan on hiking in by headlamp Saturday night.  We'll go as far as we can go and then throw down for a bivy. Up at first light on Sunday, we'll stash our bivy gear  and then head up to finish the approach and do the climb. 

Planning to simu-climb as much as possible so need climbers with familiarity or willingness to learn simu-climbing.
