This is a hike of Mt Sherman south slopes from the winter TH, which is 2 miles below the summer TH. It consists of a road walk (mostly dry as far as I can tell) and directly up the south slopes. Avy danger is low this year because, well, there's not much snow.

No promises, but, we may tack on Gemini peak, which is an unranked centennial 13er a fraction of a mile from Sherman's summit if it is not too cold and windy.

Hoping for a good forecast: no snowstorms or high winds for this one to happen.
