We will meet at the Cascade Pass trail head the night before and sleep in cars (alternately, sleep in nearby campground and join us in the morning). Be prepared to leave the trailhead at 4 AM sharp.
We will adhere to strict Covid-19 precautions including driving separately unless part of same living group, wearing masks when within 6 ft of each other, frequent use of hand sanitizer, etc...
This is a mentored lead for Lauren Allen. To ensure fair and equal access, we will select participants based on this survey, and you will be notified of acceptance for the climb at least one week before. https://forms.gle/ovUMPSKiREPJVd7Z8
