Participant Information

This is a very underrated area and this would be my third time to this peak.

There is a bit of scrambling involved, but very mild class 2 only and one or two very short sections. If you are afraid of heights please do not sign up.

There will still be some snow up there, so you'll need good waterproof hiking boots, gaiters and microspikes!

The last 2-4km of the FSR requires 4x4. I have space in mine for 3 more people.

Please be considerate and do not sign up unless you are 100% committed for the trip and you are in very good physical condition.

Will be moving at a moderate/fast pace. Not for slow people, sorry.
