I am not sure how many of the peaks we will attempt on this first trip to the Chillis however my tentative itinerary is the following:
Day 1 - approach + Spickard
Day 2 - Custer + Rahm
Day 3 - Redoubt + recon bivy spot options for future Mox climbs
Day 4 - hike out + head to Chipotle
Please do not reach out unless your fitness is dialed in. I will likely not respond to requests until the registration date unless we have successfully climbed together previously.
We'll meet in the Seattle area early on day 1 to get the drive into BC out of the way early and leave plenty of time to navigate the roads into NCNP from the north before starting the approach.
