Hey - July 30th, details as specified by SK, sounds great! - I'm in!

Is this the South Gate route? (Trek will admonish me, but if so, I'm going to take a look at those gradient sites you all posted earlier...) Kim's note that the South route is "a little easier" sounds just fine to me!

No pressure! It's just that you have always been so quick to provide encouragement - not to mention your amazing vertical climbing goal! First attempt in winter sounds better than the heat, but I don't want to wait that long, now that I'm psyched up for it!

I'm neurotic about logistics - will it be abundantly clear exactly where we meet up at the Train Museum?

Looking forward to it!! Thanks!
