Exploratory trip! I've never done this before but I've seen it on YouTube. This is a big day with lots of miles and vert. We will hit Shoshoni first and scramble in 3rd to 4th class territory over to Apache and Navajo. This site has excellent details:

LEADER permission required. Let me know what you have done this summer to give me confidence you can handle the mileage, vert and exposure. 

I'll be heading to the cabin Friday afternoon around 3pm. Participants have the choice to carpool then or come up after work. Plan for an early alpine start and a long day in the mountains. Participants are required to stay overnight to avoid early morning meetup confusion.
