Situated just S and east of Eisenhower tower this long ridge scramble beckons those who are willing to do a bit of bushwacking, and commit to a long, at times loose and exposed ridge to gain the summit.

Gear

The standard stuff – good boots, no cotton, helmet, food, clothes etc. – if you need more details this trip is not for you.

Logistics

I’m heading out to the mountains for a week and will fortunately not have any access to email, vmail etc. – yes, a real vacation! I will get back to so called civilization sometime on Sat the 29th and will make final arrangements regarding the trip with each of the applicants then.

At this point the weather looks descent but we all know that can change. We will only be going if the weather is descent.

This trip is long, at times tedious requiring a tight group. Hence max number capped at 4.

Once we know the group we can coordinate rides and best place for all to meet.
