We will drive to the lower Ellinor Trailhead if it is accessible. If it is not, we will start at the Big Creek Trailhead - that will add 3 miles and 2000 vertical to the trip. 

We will hike into the winter route, set up camp.

Practice running belay on a climb to the Ellinor Summit.

Spend the night in a winter setting.

Sunday morning will be a second climb of Ellinor and Peak A, which has a short rock pitch to summit.

Return to camp, pack up and hike out. 

Will adjust the timeline as needed; especially if the longer hike is required.

0730 in Hoodsport, WA. We will ensure all are present and drive to the trailhead as a group. Specific location in Hoodsport will be provided separately.
