Leader's notes

LEADER PERMISSION REQUIRED

This is at the upper end of difficulty for intermediate snowshoeing trips. As such, only graduates of either intermediate snowshoeing, scrambling or climbing will be considered.

We will target a pace that gets us up in 5 hours and down in 2.5 (through copious glissading, I hope). Priority is given to folks who were signed-up for my previously canceled attempts, but if you are not one of those people, you can still request permission. Crampons (and obviously snowshoes) will be required.
