The road to the trail head is not as severe as Rocky Gap... So... Randi and Danielle, we should not have a problem... Four vehicles should do it... Blazer, Forester, Outback and Randi's

The weather forecast looks great for this Saturday. What little snow Red Rock received should be gone by the hike. The route is mostly southern facing, which is good.

Hi guys. Emily and I were up on Jubilant Song on Saturday and saw your group hiking by. We made it to the summit around 3pm, but you were all long gone :) Anybody manage to get some pictures of the lone climbers up on the south face of Windy Peak that day?

ShinSuperman, Assistant OrganizerBranch's hike is always Great. Nice scramble up to the peak. No major exposure but always feels heights. It seems class 3-4 but class 2-3. Thanks for the hike Branch!
