Middle Sister, Hayden Glacier, North Ridge

Activity Notes

BCEP or equivalent training, self arrest, crampons, ice ax and fixed line travel, with glacier travel knowledge is expected of participants

15 miles round trip with around 5 k of vert, most of which is in the last 3 miles of climbing. Please bring trail runners for the first few miles, unless you want to do it climbing boots, which are also fine. 

Boots can be 3 season, a water filter is good to have in addition to the gear list, which is given below.

We will leave around 5, so please be ready to go at 4:30 ish at the trailhead with your pack etc. This climb should take us 12-15 hours on trail. This is a car to car climb. We will carry a rope. If you have the qualifications and you apply, I will most likely accept you. <br> <br> Ideally you drive up the night before to sleep at the trailhead, which needs a NW forest pass. <br>  

I will be accepting folks on Wednesday morning to allow people to apply.
