Subject: Matterhorn Peak - May 12-13

Hey,

Weather providing, I am planning on doing a basic mountaineering climb  
of Matterhorn Peak in the Northern Sierra this upcoming weekend (May  
12-13). Matterhorn Peak is the high point of the rugged Sawtooth Ridge  
and is located on the northeast border of Yosemite NP, but the  
approach/climb is in Hoover Wilderness. The route will be the East  
Couloir, which provides snow slopes of around 40 degrees requiring ice  
axe/crampons.

There is a party size limit in this region, so if you are interested,  
let me know at pantilat AT stanford.edu soon. The pace will be on the  
faster side, so appropriate physical conditioning is needed. Also,  
please indicate whether you have a car, gear, etc.  The drive will be  
made via Sonora Pass either Friday early afternoon (around 2 pm) or  
Saturday early morning. If the weather forecast changes, this trip  
will be the following weekend. Please do not hesitate to ask any  
questions.
