Description:

This is an exploratory trip. The leader has not led it. That said, plenty of guidebooks describe the route in detail. Also, this is early season so snow conditions will have to be considered. I will try to get the most updated conditions before we leave Eugene. The route is not technical in nature but some scrambling on boulders may be required.
My plan is to leave on Sunday at noon, drive three hours to the campground and set up camp. The climb will begin early Monday and finish Monday. I’ve made reservations for two sites at the campground, three people per site. Because we would miss the Monday camp checkout deadline, I reserved a second night. Anyone not wishing to spend a second night can depart Monday upon returning from the climb but it could be late and it’s three hours back to Eugene. There are several hikes leading from the campground to nearby lakes if people do choose to stay over Monday night and hike Tuesday
morning. Also, the lake is big and invites kayaking or canoeing.
A forecast of bad weather in the area that weekend will cancel the trip.
The camp cost for two nights, two sites is $54.00. Divided six ways, it comes to $9.00 apiece for camping. There are toilets and water.
