Climb Mt Jefferson via Caps Ridge Trail

A couple hiking friends and I are doing Mt. Jefferson via Caps Ridge Trail on Saturday, and experienced White Mountain hikers are welcome to join us. This is a very steep, rugged and challenging trail that has 2,726' of elevation gain in 2.1 miles. There is hand over foot rock scrambling at times and you're above treeline most of the day. The views are absolutely spectacular on the way up and at the top. Weather is forecast to be clear and windy, but this is the shoulder of Mt. Washington and any kind of weather can happen - better or worse than forecast. Bring an insulated jacket, rain shell, warm hat and gloves just in case, plus lunch and at least 2 liters water. Make sure you have a map of the trail network - it's easy to get confused at trail junctions, or you can take a photo of mine.
Message me if you're interested so we can discuss your experience, and for the meeting place and time (we're not starting at 8 AM). No dogs on this hike.
