These are not climbs to check of boxes on your graduation requirements.  You really should know about these peaks and what they involve.  We are doing 3 peaks:

Easy Mox:  I prefer someone with at least one true intermediate alpine rock climber under your belt.  A good one to do first is Forbidden.

Custer:  Extreme choss.  Please have good skills on loose terrain.  This is a good climb for very experienced scramblers.  We will rope up for one pitch.

Rahm:  a standard class 3 scramble
