Plan to go! 

The East Lion is a long day trip so participants must be fit.  The trail up to the peak is steep.  The climbing portion of the trip is short, but there is loose rock here and there.  Bringing your rock shoes makes the climb a little more comfortable but can be done in your hiking boots (so I've been told). We will bring a rope to rappel down so you need your harness.  A helmet will be mandatory!
