Description:
We will be accessing the mountain via the Pole Creek trailhead on the eastside. On Sat we will meet around 8 AM to drive over and hike or ski in, depending on how people prefer to travel. We'll camp Sat night up on a flat area at 7,200' and get up early to climb on Sunday. Then come back down to camp and pack up and head out.
NOTE: Obsidian members can sign up starting April 24, non-members will be able to sign up 2 weeks before the climb.
