Yea, from the horror stories I've heard of that range, I really wanted a strong group. We will have done Sawteeth the day before as a warm up, so that's another reason for simply hiking in the first day. If it's not broken, we might even try and bag one on that Friday, and the other two the next day.
YAY! A finish in March, excellent.
We're actually seriously considering this season as well. If everything goes as planned, we'd be done with Colden in March.
When are you planning Marshall? We're hoping to do that one on March 6th, again, if you're interested.
