Hiking – Mount Sniktau
Sniktau & Cupid: Get ready for summer with elevation @ ~11k-13k. This hike is for you if you complete activities with 8+ mls. Go at your own pace and distance on this beautiful ridgeline once the saddle is reached. Pace is slower than summer.

Each individual will hike at their own pace on the ridgelines after the initial ascent, yet when the first person has tagged the peak and is on the way down, the far off participants will need to turn around with this person. Reach out to me with questions.
Feel free to drive yourself if you have concerns of doing entire route: Not an issue for me.
If weather including winds do not allow us to do this route, a back up at altitude will be put forth out of Frisco.
Final details will be sent to participants based on weather. Yet draft thoughts are to be at Wooley Mammoth PNR's Section BB across from Exxon for a 6:45 am departure. Very roughly we may be back at the cars at 1:30 pm, however I would be in Vegas if I was better at guessing.
Required Equipment
As part of the 10 essentials, each participant is required to: (1) have downloaded the route sent out prior to trip and (2) track progress on electronic device such as phone. I use gaiagps.
Each participant is solely responsible for her/his comfort and safety. The leader will carry nothing for participants. I suggest spikes and poles.
