We will start on the little si trail and get to the top if it is safe to do so (everyone will be expected to bring micro spikes in case of icy snow conditions) We will do the boulder garden loop to add a little distance and challenge (and beauty). We will take short breaks for clothing adjustments and a slightly longer snack break when we find a good spot. We will more or less keep moving to stay warm.
