📌 Another challenging hike right from the start! After a 7-8 min walk, we head southeast and begin ascending Boneshaker which immediately becomes steep and continues to climb without any flat sections for just over a mile before eventually leveling out. Next, we connect to Three Amigos leading us to the top of Skull (Bob Gnarly), continue to the Overlook, then to Bomb Voyage/Muffin Ridge, and descend Muffin back to the parking lot. Since the goal of this hike is fitness, you'll need to maintain a fast pace.

Everyone starts on the Waitlist. Please RSVP with integrity and if unable to attend, then move yourself to 'Not Going' before the event starts.

Carry minimum 2L of water – bring a headlamp or other light source
