Five Peaks - All in one go

NB: Check out in the comments about the official 5-Peaks Challenge

Five Peaks - All in one go
Meet at Rattlesnake Trailhead at 8am
· Flores Peak 3.5m – 2,350’
· White Mountain 3m – 1,200’
· La Cumbre Peak 2.5m – 600’
· Cathedral Peak 1m – 400’
· Arlington Peak 0.5m – 150’
At this point, all the peaks are completed, then we hike down the Dragon’s Back to Tunnel trail / fire road intersection, then up Tunnel fire road for another 1.3m and 440’ of climbing.
It is all downhill from here back to the vehicles – a 1,000’ descent over 1.7m
It will be around 13.5 miles total with about 5,200’ of elevation gain
This is definitely a grueling hike and not for the casual hiker.
Please do a little reflection before signing up and DM me with any questions.
We need to maintain an average pace of 2½-3 mph, we will not have the luxury of waiting too long for stragglers on this one.
If you could do Flores Peak, or Montecito Peak, then turn around and do it a second time, that will be about the effort required.
We will take breaks at each peak and a couple of shorter ones in between
We are on blacktop road at a couple of points, for a total of 3 or 4 miles, so there will be two potential bail-out points if necessary.
Sunset will be 7:05pm on that day
I know forecasts can be wildly off this far out but it should be a relatively cool, low UV day.
