Itinerary:

Total distance: 16.5km. Elevation Gain: 1480m

We expect some snow patches at higher elevations. If you are uncomfortable with snow patches, please do not sign up.
This is a easy scramble NOT a easy hike. Ice axe is required for higher elevation safety. We will be hiking at a moderate speed with very short breaks in between until above treeline. You will need to be pretty active for the last three months to sign up as this peak involve long distance and lots elevation gain.
Our turn around time is 3pm (i.e. no matter where we are, we need to turn around). I expect we should be at summit between 12-1pm. Expect 30 mins break on summit if weather is good and we are on schedule.
