"Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed." Arthur Schopenhauer

Jesse Gobeli will lead "Epic 508" with an estimated duration of 4 hours.

Meet at 6:30 p.m. at the McHugh Creek trailhead. We will take the main trail up valley for about 1.5 miles. At elevation 1400 feet, we will leave the trail to ascend a previously unexplored ridge. Scrambling opportunities abound as we work our way through cliffs and boulders to a windswept alpine plateau at 3500 feet. Another 700 feet of ascent will round out the climbing for the evening, followed by a blistering 1800 foot descent to the main trail and a 3.5 mile jog back to the trailhead.
