And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very, very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide-sounding name like . . . ow . . . ound . . . round . . . ground! That's it! That's a good name--ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me? And the rest, after a sudden wet thud, was silence. ~excerpt from the falling whale chapter in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by D. Adams

Rob DeVelice will lead "Cellular disIntegration Lite" with an estimated duration of 5.5 hours.

The start will be at 5:30 pm (note earlier start than normal) at the Falls Creek parking area on the Seward Highway between Anchorage and Girdwood.

This will be a reduced version of the Rainbow Rim Route (aka Cellular disIntegration). We will follow the extremely rocky and (potentially) acrophobia inducing Sheep Thrills Ridge to the summit of South Suicide Peak. From there we will return to the parking area via sheep trails and the Falls Creek Trail.

Warning: this is one of the more technically demanding routes in the Epic play list.
