Trip Report

One of a series of conditioning hikes offered by the Climbing Committee. Five climbers with 30 pound summit packs and climbing boots headed up trail 34 to the small cairn and turned right on trail 3. We then turned left up the west face direct to the summit. We returned by heading down trail 6 (Sound of Music Trail) then turned right on 3 at the big cairn, then turned left on the lower west face direct, then meandered through the arboretum and out. Fun conditioner, at a fast pace with 4 of our recent Basic Climbing School graduates. 5.4 miles
