We will be doing this in reverse (Tiger 3 via the Cable line, 2, and 1).  Lets meet at the Cable Line trail head on SE 79th (just east of the Tiger Mountain entrance gate) at 7am with the intention of leaving shortly after. 

Micro spikes might be needed, but we will make the decision if we carry time at the trail head.

I have not been in this area since the wind storm in November, so we will assess  our route options as we travel.

This will be an all weather event.  Short of a full on monsoon, this trip will go.

Do you need to get in shape for the upcoming climbing season and don't know where to start? Then this seminar is for you. Come and learn about what you need to do to get in shape for mountaineering and alpine climbing, how to build a training plan on limited time, how to incorporate weights into your training, how to fuel yourself during training and on the climb, as well what you can do to recover faster.
