Climbing Mt. Lassen March 12, 13 and 14th.
Meet in Red Bluff at McDonald's on Antelope Blvd at 8am on March 12.
This is a six hour backpacking hike to the Lassen Peak Trail head parking lot from the Southwest entrance parking lot. 1800 vertical feet over six miles of snow covered road. We will set up base camp in the Lassen Peak parking lot and attempt a summit sat morning. Mountaineering boots, crampons, ice ax, snowshoes or cross country ski are advised.
This outing will only take place on a sunny weekend. It will automatically bump to the next weekend that has sun and Saturday and Sunday. Sunny means no clouds.
Everyone will climb at their own pace and Discretion. I would like to think we would climb as a group, but that implies a final group decision on proceeding or not and I don't leave my own personal safety to democracy.
How about a three-day trip for some and a two day for others? If we started all together on Sat, those of us who work doing the week could more easily participate.
Yes, Let's coordinate details. My number is 510-1919. Call me in the evening.
I would like to have an all hands meeting tomorrow evening, at 6 or 7 at either my office at 6920 Lockheed Drive or Bleachers on Hilltop to coordinate details of the trip. Transportation, ect. My email is Tgutt@crosspetroleum

Let's meet at Bleachers on Hilltop at 6:00 tomorrow night to review details of trip.
