Let's plan to meet up at the Kirkwood Lodge after the climb on Saturday night as well! It's a tradition.

Any date after February works. Is there a ski/snowshoe preference suggestion for this adventure? I actually do not own either.

Snowshoes ought to be fine. You can rent them at Marmot in Berkeley, and probably your local REI. Looks like there is also a list here.

You sure you can make it up that big hill? You're not taking the mule route are you?

How about a climb of a 14'er? Then some sport climbing in the Alabama Hills. Noone wants to drive through the central valley to get to the goods on the west side.
Because it would be harder to get a group together for a 14er, and unless you plan on everybody climbing it in one day and back from the car, you would need a wilderness permit. A one day trip like this will allow more people to go. Plus, everybody is busy in the summer when a 14er might actually be climb-able!

Yeah! Give this a try right here:
I'm curious to know others' opinions!
I would like to join the trip if timing works out, but plan on doing something low-key.
