GCC PORTER TRIP: EMMONS UP

July 1st, 2022



Help support the GCC student climb up the Emmons route on July 1st. This is without a doubt one of the most memorable and cherished traditions of the GCC. You'll be there to provide snacks, make water, help carry gear, and whatever else the climb team could use to help their chances at success!

Please arrive ON TIME at the White River campground parking lot at 8 AM. Be ready for a long day carrying a heavy load up o the base of the Interglacier. Bring a large pack in order to carry as much of the climb group's gear as you can safely handle.

If you're worried about your conditioning or preparedness for this trip, please check in with the climb lead before registering.
