The plan is to climb Spencer Butte 3 times, each time going up via the West Trail (0.6 mi) and returning to the trailhead via the Main Summit Trail (1.1mi). The intended purpose of the hike is to train for Spring mountaineering and the pace will be fast, but anyone who wishes to get in some exercise is more than welcome. The group may get spread out on the way up or down, but we will regroup as needed at the top and at trail junctions. It is recommended that you hike with a pack weighing 10-25% of your body weight. The goal is to complete the hike in under 2 hours (thus finishing before sunset), but double checking your headlamp or flashlight batteries as a precaution is recommended. Spencer Butte is known to harbor poison oak, so some people opt to hike in pants to lower the risk of getting a rash.
