Looking for a keen crew to join me on this classic volcanic peak!
We would leave Vancouver sometime in the afternoon on the Friday and establish a car-camp. Saturday would begin our ascent, bivvying up at Camp Muir for an alpine start to attempt a summit on Sunday morning. All things going well we should be skiing back down the car around midday.
Please ensure you're familiar with the intensity of the trip. It may well be very hot, mixing that with high altitude and huge elevation we have to gain can be very exhausting and dangerous.
Route wise, I'm currently looking at the classic Ingraham Direct, but potentially up for Fuhrer finger instead. Can discuss in forum, or feel free to express interest in the trip screening questions.
