Please research this route before requesting permission to sign up.  Permission requests will only be accepted when registration opens.  One exception:  if I have already told you you're welcome to come, I will sign you up early. 

I have not decided which direction we will go.  If there a lot of people on the waitlist, I may try to set up a key exchange where 1 group will start from the Mailbox TH (4400' gain) and 1 group from the Dirty Harry TH (4100' gain).  The section between Dirty Harry' Peak and Dirty Box is the more difficult and exposed portion.  There is supposedly an existing rope near  Dirty Harry's Peak that will be needed.  I suspect there will be T-4 or low T-5 with exposure in this area.  I've done the Dirtybox to Mailbox portion and it's mostly T-2 with a couple T-3 moves.

The pace will be on the slower side and will go only with good weather.  

TBD
