Description:
We’ll start at 3:00 PM on Saturday at the Green Lakes / Fall Creek Trailhead and hike about 5 miles to a spring above Green Lakes where we will set up camp. Those who want to carpool from SEHS parking lot will meet at noon. At 6:00 AM Sunday, we’ll hike up to the north ridge and then follow it south to the summit. At one spot just below the summit, there is a short section of vertical climbing where you will follow a fixed rope with prusiks, followed by an unroped catwalk and final 20 feet of scrambling. Descent will include a short 12-foot rappel to get us back on the north ridge. Once back at the spring, we’ll break down camp and hike out on the Green Lakes trail.
