Strenuous hike, 10 mi, 8300' gain to tram with additional 10 mi rt, 2400' gain to the peak. Very early start. It was too hot in July, so we've rescheduled our annual hike again when it's cooler. We'll attempt to have two groups, hopefully both SJ bound, one faster, the other naturalizing along the way. Bring money for tram ride and taxi back to cars. Send email or sase, experience/conditioning, rideshare to
