Description: The climb is 4 miles and climbs
2,481 ft and then descends 2,481 which some of us think is
harder than going up! It is not technical but is a steady
climb up the mountain.
Time: We estimate that the round-trip,
up and back, will take us 8 hours, depending on the pace of
the group.
Difficulty: Strenuous. No technical climbing
is involved but the hike will be long and is at altitude.
This trip is not as hard as a 14er, or as hard as the Aspen
to Crested Butte hike we did in 2005, but we will still be
climbing 2,481 feet! If you are not in excellent physical
condition or if you currently live at sea level, please be
prepared to do the alternate hike with Rabbi Korngold.
Alternate Plan for Those Not up to the Peak: On
Sunday, Rabbi Korngold will be offering a non-peak climb,
a hike at a lower elevation. (She is pregnant is not allowed
to go to 13, 841') You may choose to sleep in late on Sunday
and hike with her.
Meals: We will provide dinner, breakfast
and lunch. Please bring your own lunch for Saturday.
