It's not really an MSD-, more like a MOD+, but this is a short but VERY STEEP hike. The hike will somewhat follow the ridge to the "gum" of the Houndstooth, with a short scramble through the secret sweet spot that leads to the top. Expect approximately 6 hours. Parking is extremely limited, so meet and carpool. The weather will be the determining factor if we make it to the peak or not.| Level: | MSD- |
