The timing of this trip is very flexible, and we can choose any 3-4 day window that overlaps with a weekend in the next 2 weeks~

Depending on the ability of participants, we'll drive down perhaps on Thursday (or even Wednesday night), grab permits, and aim for a 2 or 3 day ascent of the Emmons Winthrop. A 2-day ascent would involve an alpine start to base camp, then resting from say 9am until sleep at 3pm, followed by a summit day. A 3-day ascent would be leisurely walk to base camp, then a full rest day, then a summit day.
The route itself is in great condition (see recent updates from the Ranger's blog) and the current weather window seems to be coming to an end.

If we are unable to gain permits, then as a backup plan we can choose perhaps Mt Adams or Mt Jefferson or something closer to home (open to suggestions).

The following is required of all participants:

• Previous mountaineering experience in an unguided trip
• Training in glacier travel, crevasse rescue, avalanche skills and snow camping.
