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 go up the Wilderness Cliffs Trail, take a short break at the summit bench, and descend on the Whittaker Wilderness Peak Trail. 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 Jim Whittaker Wilderness Peak Trailhead, ready to go at 6 PM. Be wary of heavy traffic at this time. No pass needed for parking. There is a toilet at this trailhead.
