- Participants should be in good physical condition, have some winter hiking experience, and most importantly be UNDERGRADS!
The most cursed of all mountains, the dreaded (and exciting) Mt. Willey -- rarely conquered by aged and senile adults -- requires the youthful exuberance of undergrads!
We will be part one of a two-way traverse, with one group traveling north-to-south and one group traveling south-to-north, exchanging keys midway, between Mts. Tom, Field, and Willey!
The route consists of about 3800 feet of elevation gain over 7.8 miles with beautiful panoramic views!
We are anticipating significant snowfall Saturday and Sunday so expect perfect powder and exciting conditions!
To break the curse of Mt. Willey, be sure to bring your luckiest pair of (wicking) underwear, and any other forms of magic with which you have experience.
