HIKE DESCRIPTION

On a recent hike, we watched a coyote run up the rocks. He made it look so easy. This route duplicates his path up the rocks. The coyote finished the climb in about a minute. We might take a little longer.

This hike covers a little bit of new ground, and a lot of familiar areas. However, all of the paths we'll take are different, so we can have some variety and try out new obstacles. There is not much exposure on this route, but there are a few spots that you may want to go around.

We'll start out on a familiar trail, but quickly divert onto a new route that cuts across a few known paths. Then we'll start the "coyote run" which heads up towards another familiar area. We'll take a break there and then head down another familiar area, using a different path. From there we'll swing across a ridge and take a new route down.

If I don't know you or if I can't determine your scrambling experience from your profile, then be prepared to detail your scrambling experience. Details means a description of the climbing you've done and the people you did it with.

• Helmets are always welcome. Be sure to use one that doesn't block your sight.

• Always carry "in case of emergency" numbers with you.

• No guests will be allowed without my prior approval.

YOU MUST BE ON THE "GOING" LIST IN ORDER TO GO ON THIS HIKE. CRASHING WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.

Meet location will be sent by text or message on the night before the hike.
