The goal of this hike is to build fitness for the summer climbing season. Plan to carry a pack weight that will challenge you, but allow you to maintain about a 2 mph pace. We will take the Dirty Harry's Peak trail to the turn off for Dirty Harry's Balcony. At the balcony, we'll take a quick snack break (and maybe enjoy a sunset if we're lucky!). Then we'll descend the way we came as a group. View the route here.
If you're a climbing student from any branch, we've climbed together before, or you've been on my conditioners before, you have permission to sign up. Everyone else, please use the Request Leader Permission button and tell me about recent hikes or other conditioning you've done.
Meet at the Dirty Harry's Balcony Trailhead, boots on and ready to go, at 6 PM. A Discover Pass is required for parking at this trailhead. There is a toilet at the trailhead.
