It has been a few years since I found myself huffin' and puffin' up the steep rocky trail which leads to Blackett's Ridge all the while wondering when the summit would be in sight.
I think I would like to do that again.
If this sounds like fun, then join me for a slow climb up to the top of Blackett's Ridge. You will be glad you did - but only after it is over.

We will spend some time on the summit for snacks, relaxing and taking in the amazing views.

Be sure to bring adequate water and snacks.

RSVP etiquette:

• Sign up only if you really intend to come
• If you need to cancel, do so by the deadline
• If you change your mind take yourself off the Going or Wait list
• Please don't be a no-show; it forces us to wait unnecessarily, and might prevent someone on the wait list from attending.
