The scenery should be great and greatly varied. Most of the backpacking will be on trail and the gain with full packs will be moderate. Some peaks will be rock\, some snow\, probably some with steep ice sections. Rope\, tools\, recent climbing resume\, and confidence required. Leaders will be driving from San Francisco\, Participants from other areas welcome.
