Description:
Climb school graduates will meet in the LCC parking lot #4, closest to I-5, to carpool to the trail head. Please fuel up with a healthy breakfast to get off to a good start.
We will take the Pioneer Gulch route to the 8744 ft top of Diamond Peak, weather and good fortune permitting. We may begin the climb on a bare trail, but will soon be on snow. The route gradually gets steeper offering beautiful views of Diamond and the surrounding area. Climbers will need stiff-soled boots for kicking steps in the snow and an ice axe. We will have lunch near or on the summit, depending on conditions. Both leaders enjoy cookies. We will return the way we came. With any luck, we will have the chance for some fun glissading on the way down. Snow shoes & trekking poles are strongly suggested to avoid post holing in soft snow. My best guess is that we will be back at the cars around 6 PM and back at LCC around 8:00 PM.
