Climbing Conditioner - Mount Si Main Trail

Race the sun for your conditioner credit. We will leave the main parking lot at 5:10 pm with fully weighted packs. If you snap a pic of the sun from the summit before it sets, you'll be checked off as having met the conditioning requirement* for the Basic Alpine Course. *Conditioner credit applies to Metz SIG members. Please verify with your own SIG leader if this meets their guidelines.

We will meet in the Mount Si main parking lot no later than 5:00pm. Plan to be ready to start hiking at 5:10pm.  The sun is scheduled to set at 7:19pm, allowing a few extra minutes at the top to find that perfect angle for your sunset snap. Once you've captured your portrait quality sunset be sure and turn around to capture the full moon rising. Yes, if we are blessed with clear skies, we should be treated to a full moon as well. 

Since we will all be looking to add weight to our packs, let's make this a full moon potluck. Please bring your favorite trail delicacy to share at the summit. A prize will be awarded to whoever's contribution garners the most votes.

It should go without saying, bring a headlamp and batteries. Even with a full moon the trees will make for a dark return to the parking lot.
