I have already had several requests to coordinate another trip out west in 2006. Currently I am looking into two possible choices, which is open to other suggestions.
1) Whitney / Shasta (6-8 group size)
2) Shasta / Hood (up to 12 group size)
The Whitney / Shasta choice will require early planning since permits must be at the ranger station on February 1st and no later than February 14th. Also the selection of this choice will reduce our group size since the permits are issued on a lottery basis and larger groups have a harder time getting a block of permits.
I am looking at a June timetable which will allow us to travel mostly in snow and in a cooler environment. If we do get another trip planned, we can use this winter for preparation and practice with everyone planning on going.
I would be interested in reading the replies. Please provide the following information:
1) Climbing Suggestions (other destinations than previously mentioned)
2) Interested parties
3) Suggested dates
Based on feedback, I will detail the planning for the most popular choice before I ask for participants. As before, I will use HighPeaksCimbing.com for all planning and information distribution.
Thanks,
Ed
