Oak Creek Overlook - Wildest Route Yet
There's only one word to describe this route: F****** Crazy. Okay that's two words. This is an impossible looking route with some very exposed climbing, but you will stand where few have ever stood. You will have earned bragging rights and this hike makes you eligible for the new I survived a Branch Whitney hike T-shirt. I don't have them yet, but I will sell them at my cost. (I might have them by the time we do this hike.)
Don't let the stats fool you, this is a physically tough hike.
No guests, plus 1's, dogs, or kids
All hikers must be approved -- We will have to work as a team to reach the summit. Bring a lot of courage for this one.

ShinSuperman, Assistant OrganizerWhat a great work out !! I took 8 hours super power nap after this hike. Now, I want 'I have survived Branch Whitney's Menace to Society hike' T-shirts.

JorgeGreat hike and perfect weather. Everybody did great. With extreme exposure, tricky traverses, and a lot of scrambling the hike lived up to being one of the wildest hikes I've ever done. Can't wait to do more hikes like this.

Jen PWonderful adventure but f*#$in' kicked my a$$. Even so, I'd do it again (once my blisters heal and my toenail grows back)
