Gear Requirements:
The trail is of moderate diffi-
culty, requiring at least light
duty backcountry gear with
metal edges and robust boots
and bindings.
Climbing skins may my neces-
sary depending on ability and
conditions.
Weather can vary dramatically,
so choose a variety of base,
insulation and shell garments
according to conditions.
Expect to spend a nearly full
day traveling each way to allow
for stops and differing abilities
within your group, and carry
fuel and hydration to match,
and enough supplies for your
return.
Communication and first-
aid items should be spread
amongst your group.
Trail marking is excellent, and
trail maps are a must as cell
coverage may not be available
everywhere.
