Click [MORE+] to read all notes before requesting permission:
- No bikes (don't have one yet)! We are gonna walk the road. Think of it like Hibox, but easier!
- Given that conditions on Wow were snowshoe appropriate a week ago, let's bring them.
- For pace, mine is "2-hr Old Mailbox" and we will stick together as a group. If that sounds super fast or super slow to you, then consider whether this is the trip for you.
- Apparently this peak has good views, but we are very likely to not see them because of the weather... but every Rainier 100 I can get now saves me precious summer days for Smoots-chasing. :)
- If you've read all this and it sounds like your kind of thing, then you have my permission to register. If you want the assistant spot but it won't let you because you aren't a winter scramble leader, sign-up as a participant and email me.
Carbon River Entrance at 8AM. National Park pass required.
