Activity Notes
This is part of a single-day multi-peak climb. We will climb both Mt. Bretherton and Mt Lena in a single day from upper Lena Lake. We will hike into camp the day before, spend a second night in camp after the climbs, and hike out on day 3. These are scramble-style climbs that require basic rock and basic snow skills.
