Please bring spikes or other footwear traction as both the incline and Barr trail (our descent route) will be snowy/icy. 

If you have a small stove such as a jetboil or windburner, please consider bringing this to share as we make our beverages at the top. Each person is responsible for bringing their own mug and packing out any trash they may generate. 

I will provide hot chocolate mix, assorted tea bags and water for beverages. If you would like something besides this, please feel free to bring!

Meet at the base of the incline and be ready to start hiking at 830a. There is parking at the Hiawatha Gardens lot for ~$2/hr, and a shuttle to reach the base that runs every 15-20 min.
