Hike to the base of Black Tusk from Rubble Creek and then scramble to the top.

Participants must bring headlamps (w spare batteries). Final condition report on Friday evening.

No one leaves until everyone is out.

Please note: This is a fast paced day trip requiring a high level of fitness. You must be comfortable with exposed scrambling and must be able to independently navigate in the mountains. I have posted a GPS track of our planned route.
