At 6:00 AM Sunday\, we’ll follow the climber’s trail to the saddle on the north ridge and then follow the ridge 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 a prusik\, 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 camp\, we’ll pack up and hike out on the Green Lakes trail.

We’ll hike along the Pacific Crest Trail\, gain a ridge that has just enough exposure to make it interesting\, then don our harnesses for three pitches of fun\, protected rock climbing to the summit. When the rock climbing portion is over\, we loop down through the scree field back to the PCT.\nThis is a long day\, minimum of 11 hours\, often more like 14 hours. You’ll want to be in top mountain climbing shape and be comfortable with exposure.
