South Sister, South Side (via Green Lakes)

Activity Notes

Day 1: We'll approach and climb South Sister via the Green Lakes TH, and camp the night in the summit crater (probably on snow).

Day 2: We'll descend South Sister, and exit to the same trailhead.

Team Selection: 

I tend towards selecting a diverse, and gender balanced team. Also, I am prioritizing recent BCEP grads (2018, and 2017), and recent ICS grads (2018).

Skills needed: 

• Good physical fitness
• Snow camping (no experience needed)
• Basic rock skills (fixed line usage, rappelling)
