Description:

Plan is to take a single 4 person rope team with just folks who are well prepared as this will be my 1st lead of this route (standard South side/Old Chute, I have climbed this route just not lead it). 12-12:30 am start from Timberline. Be prepared for icy conditions, cold, wind, rain, and hot weather. If you plan to arrive early to get sleep at the parking lot before the climb, bring sleeping bag & pad, and ear plugs.
