Weather currently looks clear and no lightning in forecast, but even with the Gentleman Start of 0700 we will look to be off the summit before Noon.

If we have not hiked together before, I would like to connect on a call so we are comfortable with mutual expectations.

0700 start fromMt Elbert TH past Halfmoon Creek campgrounds.

Carpools and meeting locations TBD.  I will be staying in the BV area.
