Taking my "Team Snail" up San Jacinto on Friday - we're fairly slow paced if you want to get some miles and gain in. We plan on going up the South Ridge trail out of Idyllwild around 0300 or 0330, hitting the tower on Tahquiz Peak and then jumping on the PCT until the climb up San J. We won't push it in the snow (I hear it's as low as 9100 feet), but we will do as much as I feel safe doing. If we get stopped too early we may do some extra miles by heading south on the PCT for awhile.
So - skip work and take a 4 day weekend! Call in sick, quit your job or just tell the boss to shove it! Come on out and let's have a blast at an easy pace.
We have two over 40 (one with limited hiking time), one 21 year old, a 16 year old girl and 13 year old boy. Only the 21 and 13 year old have any Whitney time and we took it pretty slow that day.
PM me if you want in or just show up..................DUG
