Activity Notes
Please be sure that you have navigation, backcountry travel and crevasse rescue skills and will feel comfortable with a steady pace with a heavy pack. A good test of pace is hiking from Timberline to Silcox Hut with a 25-pound pack in 45 minutes.
Our itinerary will be roughly:
Day 1 meet at the trail head at 12:00p and hike to low camp at about 3,100 feet (approximately 5.5 miles and 1,100 feet elevation gain)
Day 2 hike to high camp at about 7,000 feet (approximately 8 miles and 3,900 feet elevation gain)
Day 3 summit attempt (approximately 3 miles and 3,500 feet elevation gain to the summit), return to camp, pack up and hike to a lower camp.
Day 4 hike out and return home.
