Itinerary: | |||||||
Photo Credit - Laurie McLaughlin We will summit 3 mountains - Kennesaw, Little Kennesaw, and Pigeon Hill. Then, we return on moderate topography by way of the Pigeon Hill Cutoff to Camp Brumby Road. This will be group hiking regrouping at each intersection and each summit. Remember that in cold weather there is less stopping if the group members work toward maintaining the same pace. Qualifications- at minimum, you recently (last 2 weeks) completed a D2 at an average pace of 3.0mph and a 600 foot elevation gain If your AOC profile does not refect these qualifications, you will be moved to the wait list pending further informaition. Metrics for this hike: Elevation gain: 1200 feet Pace: 2.8 mph avg. Terrain: rugged with lots of rocks that are slippery when wet | |||||||
