Logistics: The plan is to drive to the Ghosts on Friday Afteroon, Camp in the Ghosts Public land (You are resposble of your Public Land Camping Pass), climb Cathedral Mountain on Saturday, drive back home in the evening.
Screening: Event attendees will be screened to ensure they have the necessary skills and experience to complete this climb. Sign-up is not first come first served, and attendees will be selected at the discretion of the trip leader.
If we haven't climbed together recently send me a quick email at: mathurin.romand@gmail.com explaining your experience, fitness, previous trips this season and why your a good fit for the trip.
Weather: The forecast for Saturday looks currently good. Days are becoming shorter so we will probably start early on Saturday to give us enough time.
Please bring some water shoes/runners to cross the 3 river crossings in the morning and in the night without taking on and off your boots/approach shoes.
I will bring a rope and a small rack.
Detailed list will be discussed with the group before Saturday.
