Required Equipment
Be ready for WINTER temps! this is a great time to test out systems for winter.
bring your spikes, heavy gloves/mitts, poles, 10 essentials, lots of layers, sunglasses or googles. what every you need.
if we are not moving as fast you thought we might, be ready with layers to put on to keep warm.
same goes if we are moving faster then you hoped be able to shed layers
THIS IS A TRAINING HIKE FOR MYSELF, I WILL BE CARRYING 30LBS, My friend is also coming and this is her first 14er, she is athletic and should be fine but you never know.
If you want to come join us that would be great. this will be my 6th time up there.
