Before you climb
- A GPX file is only a guide to direction. It does not replace a map, a compass, and the skill to read the terrain.
- Ask the park or its managers for permits and the current state of the trail. Routes change with landslides, fallen trees and closures.
- Do not climb alone, and tell someone at home your route and when you expect to be down.
