Alpine Select route PD, low 5th.  

5-8 hours

Participants should be comfortable travelling unroped over 4th class terrain and sections of low 5th class climbing.

Plan is to take the gondola up ($50) hike to the ridge, climb the buttress, normal descent via north side slopes and return to Rendezvous to the take the gondola down.

Helmets, rope, harness and light rack required due to expected snowfall.  Crampons optional.
