8/5 Huntington, Washington, Great-Gulf Loop

Hi All:

This will be a challenging day for Sat, August 5th . Pending good weather, an early start is in order to begin the descent off washington by between 12:00 pm and 1 pm.

The plan is to leave pinkham notch visitor center between 6 and 7 am, climb Washington via Huntington's (Class 3 scramble, fantastic exposure ) and then descend the long way down the great gulf trail (class 2/2+, and a mindfull eye for loose rock )

Any takers?

Justin

P.S. Not that it needs to be said.... Bring sticky shoes, sturdy legs, and the mindset required for presidential weather & terrain. (If what this trip entails isnt already obvious, perhaps we should discuss this further...Huntington's Ravine trail has been described by many as the most technically difficult established trail in the whites. PM me or email: [email protected])

As it goes right now, we will be meeting at Pinkham notch, ready-to-go at 7:00am.

We will also be spotting a car at the great gulf trailhead, for the return trip.
