FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY


What: Ritchie Smith overnight and Mt. Adams hike
When: Friday evening-Saturday night
Why: because hiking in adverse conditions is badass!
Come stay in Ritchie Smith cabin Friday night and hike Mt. Adams the following day.  We will hike up a 10 mile trail and climb 4400 vertical feet to get to the 5774' summit of Mt. Adams.  Time permitting, we will make a stop at the Gray Knob shelter on the descent so you can hear stories about Patagonia with myself and a friend of mine who is the caretaker of the shelter.  NB: this hike will be challenging.  Conditions will not be ideal, and it will be a long day.
Cost: $10 DOC, $20 non DOC
Blitz: Ben Bauer for more info or to sign up.
