The goal of this hike is to build fitness for the upcoming 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 Dirty Harry's Balcony trail. At the balcony, we'll take a quick snack break and then descend the way we came. Plan to travel as a group for the whole hike. View the route here

If you're a current climbing or scrambling student from any branch, if we've climbed together before, or if you've been on my conditioners before, you have permission to sign up. Everyone else, please wait until 3/23 to use the Request Leader Permission button and tell me about recent hikes or other conditioning you've done and what you're hoping to get out of this hike.

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.
